NEW YORK -- New York City's Parks Department is making a splash this summer with free swimming lessons

Classes will be offered for toddlers and children up to 17 years old during three sessions in July and August. 

Participants are selected in a lottery and must sign up by noon Monday.

The city says registering for more than one class per session will automatically disqualify applicants.
