World’s Largest Swim Lesson

 

On June 21 at 10 a.m., the Kroc Center’s aquatics team will be offering a free water safety class as part of the“World’s Largest Swim Lesson,” joining organizations around the globe in teaching kids and adults alike to be more comfortable in the water.

 

This event is made possible through financial support from United HealthCare Community Plan. “UnitedHealthcareCommunity Plan is proud to team up with The Salvation Kroc Community Center for the World’s Largest Swim Lesson,” said Community Outreach Specialist Benicia Kyle. “It is always a pleasure and a privilege to support the fun family activities that take place in our members’ communities.”
