swim enters Guinness book of recorDs More than 10,000 children on four continents swam and kicked their way into the record books by participating in The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson.

Drowning is the second
leading cause of unintended, injury related death of children aged 1-14. In fact, more than one in four fatal drowning victims are children aged 14 and younger.
