Join Dollywood’s Splash Country on June 17th for a Water Safety Education Event. Swimming lessons, water safety education awareness urgent after pandemic year and Dollywood is looking to help. Drowning remains the leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1 – 4, and it’s the second leading cause of injury-related death in children 14 and younger.
Participation in swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by up to 88 percent! Dollywood’s Splash Country is committed to helping bridge the gap to prevent drowning. This year, swim instructors and community leaders will come together Thursday, June 17 to provide a free 30-minute lesson in the morning and offer education throughout the day.
“Dollywood’s Splash Country is committed to doing our part to educate and raise awareness about water safety,” explained Jason Boothe, Vice President of Park Operations. “In fact, we’re offering a $25 ticket and giveaways to incentivize people to join us for the swim lesson at 10 a.m. Research shows that swimming lessons save lives, so we’re inviting the community to join us as we host the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson.”
