World's Largest Swimming Lessons
Check back in 2027 for upcoming World's Largest Swimming Lesson events.
Stay safe around water
Drowning can happen fast and quietly
It may take only 20–60 seconds and it doesn’t always look like an emergency.
Stay confident around water
Swim lessons help children gain skills, comfort and safer habits around water.
Adult supervision
Stay within arm’s reach, put phones away, add barriers (fences/gates) around water and know CPR.
Use life jackets the right way
For weak or non-swimmers near open water, use an approved, properly fitted life jacket—still with close supervision.
Drowning is preventable
World's Largest Swimming Lesson is a reminder to practice water safety and build skills that last a lifetime.
