UPDATE:

Thanks to all the hard working WLSL Host Location Facilities! Because of their support, thousands of children around the globe bobbed, floated and flutter kicked their way into the record books by participating in The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ at 2pm GMT on June 3rd. Hundreds of aquatic facilities, from Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon near Orlando, Florida to swim schools in Orange Country, CA to community centers in the Bronx, to locations as far reaching as Zambia, Lebanon, Dubai, and the USAG Humphreys in South Korea joined together to build awareness about the vital importance of teaching children to swim to help prevent drowning.

We’re looking forward to setting a new record next year with the hope that some day everyone will understand that drowning CAN and SHOULD be prevented.
