Thousands of swimmers are expected to take part in the globe-spanning swimming lesson and participants will also receive a $10.00 coupon for a future visit to Wet‘n’Wild on any operating day in 2023.
And on top of being included in the record book and a voucher, swimmers will also learn tips that could help save a life.
“Drowning is the leading cause of unintended death for children ages 1-4, ahead of car accidents, birth abnormalities and cancer,” Wet’n’Wild said in a release. It is also the second leading cause of unintended death for kids 4-14 and the third for adolescents ages 15-17.”
