The World’s Largest Swim Lesson™

Thursday, June 26, 2025 – OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY

We’re participating in The World’s Largest Swim Lesson™ (WLSL) 2025.

Water competency is a lifesaving skill that will come in handy now that the warm weather is approaching us. With summer coming up, we want to make sure we can do our part in ensuring that as many kids as possible are safe in the water. Learning to swim is an elongated process, and one day cannot replace it, however this event’s goal is to teach beginners to build awareness and how to be safer in and around the water.
