 With the mercury rising on the thermometer, people of all ages are finding ways to keep cool. And when members from the Naval Support Activity Naples community heard about the world's biggest swim lesson, they jumped at the chance. The event that we had today was the World's Largest Swim Lesson. We were participating as an official host facility for a world record attempt, a Guinness Book of World Records attempt. Last year they did this event, they had 32,000 people at a bunch of facilities worldwide doing a simultaneous swim lesson. With a record attempt on the line, a major focus of the event was proper swimming techniques. I think swim lessons are important to give children water safety and confidence in the water and also to enjoy swimming. Enjoying the water during the summer can be a fun activity for kids, and for Debbie, one of her main priorities is that they do it safely. Come get your kids into swim lessons. If there are MWR swim lessons here, if there are swim lessons back in the state, swim lessons out in town, it doesn't matter as long as you get your kids in lessons so they can learn how to be safe around the water. With high temperatures expected for the next few months, participants welcome the challenge of enjoying a safe, fun-filled day at the pool. Petty Officer Matt Wright, Naples, Italy.
