Disney World played host to ‘World’s Largest Swimming Lesson’ - an annual event promoting safe water practices worldwide.
Taking place at the Florida resort’s Typhoon Lagoon waterpark, 650 local children from six nonprofit organisations took part in the event, with Maritza Correia McClendon – the first African American woman to make the US Olympic swim team and set a world record – assisting.
“Students need access to these critical safety lessons, especially here in Florida where we’re surrounded by water,” said Tajiana Ancora-Brown, director of External Affairs at Walt Disney World Resort.
“Being able to host the largest site in the state means our impact on their lives is huge – whether they were inspired to pursue a career in recreation or pass the lessons along to their friends and family. These are skills and memories that will last them a lifetime.”
