Courtesy World's Largest Swimming Lesson Each year, WLSL events provide more than 20,000 man hours of water safety training in a single day. Here, a lifeguard at the Jerry Fox Swim Center teaches a young child how to swim using a kick board.

The 9th annual World’s Largest Swimming Lesson is set for June 21. The event will take place at aquatics facilities 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.

Register now to receive curriculum so that all facilities are teaching the same lesson on the same day.

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.
