The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ was developed to build awareness about the vital importance of teaching children to swim to help prevent drowning. 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.
