Team WLSL™ Set to Make A Difference on June 24, 2016.
The World’s Largest Swim Lesson™ in 24 Hours Sends the Message
Swimming Lessons Save Lives™ to millions around the globe.
The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson is quickly approaching! This free swimming lesson event will be held this Friday, June 24, 2016. On this day, tens of thousands of kids and adults at aquatic facilities around the world will unite for the seventh year in a row to make noise that Swimming Lessons Save Lives.™ A global event, The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL), will take place over the course of 24 hours at an estimated 500 locations in more than 20 countries.
Tragically, drowning remains the leading cause of unintended, injury related death for children ages 1-4, and the second leading cause of accidental death for children under 14. Research shows participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged 1 to 4, yet many kids do not receive formal swimming or water safety training.
