World's Largest Swim Lesson

Join the Kingsport Aquatic Center for a fun afternoon dedicated to safe swimming! The KAC is participating in the World’s Largest Swim Lesson, an event created by the World Waterpark Association to promote the importance of swim safety worldwide.

The 30-minute swim lesson will take place in the Outdoor Lap Pool at the Kingsport Aquatic Center at 2 p.m. on June 19. The event is free with a KAC daily admission.

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. Research shows risk of drowning can be reduced by 88 percent if children participate in formal swimming lessons between the ages of 1-4.
Yet, a survey conducted by the American Red Cross in 2014 found that more than half of Americans (54 percent) either can't swim or don't have all of the basic swimming skills.

The Kingsport Aquatic Center offers American Red Cross-certified swim lessons year-round for all ages and abilities. To learn more about taking swimming lessons at the KAC, visit swimkingsport.com or call 423-343-9758.
