The Parks and Recreation Department has joined the World Largest Swim Lesson (WLSL) to
promote the importance of swimming lessons in the Miami Beach community. The WLSL is a
global event that serves as a platform to help the global aquatics industry work together to build
awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim to prevent drowning.
Swimming is a life-saving skill for children and a vital tool to prevent drowning, the second leading
cause of unintended, injury-related death for U.S. children ages 1-14. WLSL will be celebrating
its 10th anniversary by sending the message that"Swimming Lessons Save Lives". The Parks and
Recreation Department will be one of several hundred events taking place in more than 20
countries on 5 continents.
Should you have additional questions, please contact Cindy Casanova at (305) 673-7730.
