The World's Largest Swimming Lesson™ is a promotional event designed to build awareness and generate local and national media attention about the vital importance of teaching kids to swim to help prevent drowning and improve quality of life. What's exciting about the WLSL event is that so many organizations and individual aquatic facilities come together to make it happen. The WLSL event helps capture the passion we have for this critical issue as individuals and focuses all that energy on one message for one day.
During this 30-minute lesson, certified instructors will teach basic, life-saving water safety skills in a fun, supportive environment. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome! This event is typically free or offered at a minimal cost, but fees may vary by location.
