Calling Swimmers Of All Levels

Wet ‘n’ Wild Hawaii is looking to gather hundreds of water enthusiasts at 9 a.m. Friday to help break the Guinness World Record for the largest swim lesson.

The water park is teaming up with other parks worldwide for The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, an annual event that tries to break its own record each year.

Kapolei’s Wet ‘n’ Wild serves as one of the host sites, and participants at the park will contribute to the overall record.

The event also doubles as a way to raise awareness about the importance of teaching kids to swim. Kama’aina Kids will conduct the 30-minute swim lesson in the Hawaiian Waters pool.

The first 500 people into the park before 6:30 a.m. will be admitted free. The public can begin lining up at 5 a.m., and the park opens at 5:30.
