World's Largest Swim Lesson
The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL) is a global drowning prevention event launched by the World Waterpark Association in 2010. The program is supported by leading aquatics and safety organizations around the world and takes place at all types of aquatic facilities from huge waterparks to public pools and swim schools. WLSL serves as a platform to help communities build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim. Swimming is a life-saving skill for children and a vital tool to prevent drowning, the number one cause of death for U.S. children ages 1-4, and second leading cause for ages 5-14.
Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows risk of drowning can be reduced by 88% if children participate in formal swimming lessons between the ages of 1-4. Yet, a survey conducted by the American Red Cross in 2020 found that more that half of Americans (56%) either can't swim or don't have the necessary basic swimming skills. TEAM WLSL™ is on a mission to make everyone aware that swim lessons are vital.
Come join us for our 17th annual World's Largest Swimming Lesson™ event to be held on Thursday, June 25, 2026 and for the first time, at the Blue Mountain Middle School Pool! TEAM WLSL™ has sent the message Swimming Lessons Save Lives™ to billions. Each lesson will be 30 minutes in length; both in-water and on-land skills will be addressed during your 30 minute lesson. All three sessions will be taught the same curriculum.
Please note: A parent or guardian must be present at check-in and remain on-site throughout the duration of the lesson. This is NOT a drop-off event.
At the time of check-in, participants will be required to complete a waiver and sign in. Participants will also receive some extra swag to help support and celebrate The World’s Largest Swim Lesson!
