World’s Largest Swimming Lesson - Thursday, June 21, 2018
Now in its 9th year, STA is proud to be a Gold Level Supporter of @team_wlsl which was created as a platform to help the aquatics industry build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim to help prevent drowning, the leading cause of accidental death for kids 1-4.
Every year local WLSL events take place at hundreds of locations in more than 20 different countries on five continents over the course of 24 hours.
STA is joining Team WLSL
in their mission to spread the message Swimming Lessons Save Lives to one billion kids and adults by 2019. To help, STA encourages swim schools and aquatic facilities to take part and help parents connect the dots between learning to swim and staying safer in and around the water.
Further details on how you can register your swim school to take part will be announced shortly #savethedate #savelives #swimming #swimminglessons #learntoswim #watersafety #kids #swimschools #drowningprevention #worldslargestswimminglesson
