Drownings are on the rise this year in the Valley.

Since January, 47 people have drowned in Maricopa and Pinal counties, according to the Children’s Safety Zone.

Scottsdale Aquatics will waive enrollment fees for swim lessons throughout August for both residents and non-residents in recognition of Drowning Impact Awareness Month.

The free classes are available for children and adults ages six months and up.

Starting Tuesday, July 23, residents can sign up through Scottsdale Recreation’s online registration system.

Registration for non-residents opens Thursday, July 25.
