Setting a new
Guinness World
record...
We're helping
set a new
Guinness World
Record for the
World's Largest
Swimming Lesson
on June 14th
2011.
The event will
make a HUGE
splash about the
vital importance
of teaching
children to swim
to prevent
childhood
drowning.
The nation's top
water safety and
training
organizations
are joining
forces to
present The
World's Largest
Swimming Lesson™
(WLSL) on
Tuesday 14th
June 2011 to
help build
awareness about
the vital
importance of
teaching
children to swim
and help prevent
drowning.
On June 14th,
water parks,
pools and other
aquatic
facilities
around the globe
will host local
WLSL lessons
simultaneously
in an attempt to
break the
Guinness World
Record.
Swimming is a
life-saving
skill for
children and a
vital tool to
prevent
drowning, the
second leading
cause of
unintended,
injury-related
death for
children ages
1-14.
Research shows
if a child
doesn't learn to
swim by the
third grade,
they likely
never will. The
World's Largest
Swimming Lesson™
was created to
serve as a
platform to help
local community
aquatic
facilities and
the many
different
national,
regional and
state wide water
safety and
drowning
prevention
organizations
work together to
tell this
important story
on a local and
national level. |
