Head to Laguna Waterpark at La Mer on Thursday and be part of the record-breaking World’s Largest Swimming Lesson (WLSL).

Taking place from 18:00 to 18:30, this official day assigned by the World Waterpark association, various waterparks and water associations all over the world will unite to educate people on the importance of swimming lessons for children and its vital role in the prevention of drowning.

It will be the ninth time that the WLSL will host the lesson with Dubai just one of many locations in more than 20 countries in five continents on the list. So far, more than 236,000 children and adults have participated since the initiative was launched.

To mark this important occasion, Laguna Waterpark is offering the chance for guests to take part in the free activity and as part of the Dhs99 admission price.

All guests who are at the park on the day can register to take part to ensure a place for them and their child. Prior to and after the lesson, participants are free to enjoy the pursuits of Laguna and all it has to offer.

Anyone who visits will not be short of options in the UAE’s newest waterpark. Only opened in May, it has been a huge success with hundreds flocking to the venue. Thrill-seekers can experience the heart-dropping adventures of the Free Fall, while the laid-back folk can relax in the infinity pool with juice bar, and the young ones can play at the AquaPlay. If all that fun gets tiring, they can re-fuel at the various food spots spread across the waterpark.

Along with this, participating guests will receive a certificate for their contribution and participation in the event.

To take part in the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson at Laguna Waterpark, guests can sign up at Guest Services at the gate prior to and on-the-day. Access is on a first-come-first-served basis.
