Swim Survival School Location in Florida Partakes in International Event
British Swim School, best known for its education of water safety as an essential survival skill amongst a fun and gentle environment, participated in the World’s Largest Swim Lesson on Thursday, June 21, 2018. To further draw attention to the importance of teaching children to swim as a key component in the prevention of drowning, the franchised swim school in Orlando supported this initiative as a host.
The ninth annual World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, created by the World Waterpark Association in 2010, is a global event supported by aquatic facilities, waterparks, pools, swim schools, and YMCAs, among others, and serves as a platform to build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim. Since inception, more than 236,000 children and adults have participated in World’s Largest Swimming Lesson events, which holds the current Guinness World Record™ for the largest simultaneous swimming lesson conducted at multiple venues.
British Swim School in Orlando contributed to the event by building awareness of and driving participation to the event, along with acting as a host site. According to the National Safety Council, more than 80 percent of drownings occur in residential pools or spas, which further enforces the need for parental supervision as a number one safety measure. In addition, the lessons and formal swim programs such as those offered by British Swim School and encouraged by World’s Largest Swim Lesson can help reduce these risks.
“Participating in the World’s Largest Swim Lesson is something small we can do within our community that further contributes to our larger mission – which is to save lives” said Isabel Arango, British Swim School franchisee. “By offering our Orlando location as a host site, we’re able to maximize our reach and communicate the necessity of this safety skillset through the World’s Largest Swim Lesson!”
