Hundreds of swimmers will gather at local pools to participate in the 8th annual World’s Largest Swimming Lesson on June 22. The event will take place at aquatic locations in more than 20 countries on five continents over the course of 24 hours. The goal is to expose both kids and adults to life-saving water safety skills and build awareness about drowning prevention.
The event is supported by the World Waterpark Association along with a host of other life-saving and drowning prevention organizations to spread the message that Swimming Lessons Save Lives—an idea that Swimming Lesson organizers hope to spread to more than one billion people by 2019.
