WELCOME TO
Aqua Culture
Swim School & Training Center
Join us for our 17th annual World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ event to be held today, Thursday, June 25, 2026! Aqua Culture Swim School has participated in the WLSL since its inception in 2010, 17 years strong.
The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL) is a global drowning prevention event launched by the World Waterpark Association in 2010. The program is supported by leading aquatics and safety organizations worldwide and takes place at all types of aquatic facilities, from large water parks to public pools and swim schools. WLSL serves as a platform to help communities build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim. Swimming is a life-saving skill for children and a vital tool to prevent drowning, the number one cause of death for U.S. children ages 1-4, and the second leading cause for ages 5-14.
Research from the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that the risk of drowning can be reduced by 88% if children participate in formal swimming lessons between the ages of 1 and 4. Yet a 2020 survey by the American Red Cross found that more than half of Americans (56%) either can’t swim or lack basic swimming skills. TEAM WLSL™ is on a mission to raise awareness of the vital importance of swim lessons.

Aqua Culture Swim School was founded on the simple yet powerful assertion that Drowning IS Preventable. Drownings are the leading cause of injury death for young children ages 1 to 4 and the second leading cause in children 1 to 14; three children die in the US every day as a result of drowning. Research has shown that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged 1 to 4 years.
