Host A WLSL Event At Your Facility

This year's World's Largest Swimming Lesson™ will take place on Thursday, June 20, 2024. Each host location may select their own start time on the 20th, to best suit their operations schedule. The curriculum for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ is provided in the WLSL Host Location Kit, which will be available to download from the Materials page after all registration steps are completed. All participating Host Locations are required to teach the WLSL curriculum so that all locations are teaching the same lesson on the same day.

If you are unable to host an event in 2024, we invite you to join us in sharing this message that Swimming Lessons Save Lives™ on your social media channels. Please use the handle @TheWLSL and the hashtags: #WLSL2024, #DrowningisPreventable, #SwimmingLessonsSaveLives or #Learn2Swim when posting.

Registration fees

There is a $89 registration fee to register as a WLSL Host Location. This fee includes a variety of benefits, many of which are listed below. Special pricing for multiple locations hosting an event in the same city is available upon request. In addition, limited scholarships are available for those Host Locations that wish to participate but are unable to pay the registration fee. Contact Bernadine Buda for more information on group pricing and applying for a scholarship.
