Why: The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ was created to spread the word that Swimming Lessons Save Lives™ – tragically, drowning is the second leading cause of unintended, injury related death of children ages 1-14. Research shows if a child doesn’t learn to swim before the 3rd grade, they likely never will.
