The temperatures may be high, but people are finding ways to cool off. And what better way to spend summer solstice than at a waterpark? When it comes with a swimming lesson for kids.

You read that right, a lesson at a waterpark. In fact, it was a small part of the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson taking place at many different water facilities.

“I find it very exciting, as I am very passionate about pool safety. And I find that it's an easy way to make a difference,” said Gabrielle Bonnes, aquatics director at SplashDown Beach.

At SplashDown, roughly 60 people participated in the lesson, including Sonia Baculima and her 14- and 5-year-old children.

“I prefer my kids learn to swim very quickly, and they can enjoy the pool, the beach, whatever, because swimming is very important anyway as hobbies, exercise,” Baculima said.

The free lesson was about 30 minutes long, and the kids learned how to float, tread water, kick and more.

“It just makes you feel safe because you can just float on top I suppose,” said Mathias Pasato, Baculima’s 14-year-old son.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 40 million adults in the United States don’t know how to swim and more than half have never taken a swimming lesson.

The CDC said research indicates that making swimming lessons more accessible can help prevent drownings and save lives.

“We're always around water. Just having some key elements on how to swim, some fundamental skills, can really make a difference,” Bonnes said.

And it certainly makes Baculima feel better as a mother.

“You can relax your body only noticing the water just moving and swift,” Baculima said.

This marks the 15th year the World Waterpark Association has coordinated the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson.
