Cowabunga Vegas Waterparks Hosts Free Swim Lessons on Thursday, June 20 as Part of World’s Largest Swimming Lesson
Cowabunga Vegas Waterparks is excited to announce free swim lessons on Thursday, June 20, starting at 9:45am. Children of all ages are invited to learn essential swimming skills, which are crucial during the summer months when the incidence of drowning and near-drowning accidents is highest, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The free swim lessons will be held at both Cowabunga Bay in Henderson and Cowabunga Canyon in Summerlin. These lessons are open to the public, but space is limited, so pre-registration is required starting at 9:30am at the waterpark.
This event is part of the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™, a global drowning prevention initiative launched in 2010 by the World Waterpark Association. Since its inception, more than 383,000 children and adults in 53 countries have participated in World’s Largest Swimming Lesson events.
“Even if we can impact one child, events like this are worth it,” says Cowabunga Vegas Waterparks Regional General Manager Cade Vereen.
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 1-4. However, a survey conducted by the American Red Cross in 2020 found that more than half of Americans (56%) either can’t swim or don’t have the necessary basic swimming skills.
Participants aged 15 years or younger will receive free entry to either Cowabunga Bay or Cowabunga Canyon after participating in the swim lessons. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to purchase up to three guest tickets at a discounted price of $24.99 each. For more information about this event, visit cowabungavegas.com
