Young swimmers hit the pool for a good cause in Columbus

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Some young swimmers dove in to raise money for Swim Columbus.

Nearly 20 kids from the organization swam 40,000 yards Tuesday at the downtown Columbus YMCA.

This is the first time in about a decade the organization has hosted a Swim-A-Thon.

The 4 to 18-year-olds got donations for each lap they took.

Money will go to Swim Columbus activities.
