National Learn To Swim Day is observed on May 16 and is dedicated to promoting swimming education and water safety for individuals of all ages. The day encourages parents to enroll their children in swimming lessons to enhance their water confidence and understanding of safety measures. It highlights the importance of learning to swim, as it can save lives and prevent drowning, particularly among children. Many swimming lesson companies offer promotions on this day to incentivize participation. Activities may include taking swimming lessons, teaching someone else to swim, or organizing family swim outings. National Learn To Swim Day aims to raise awareness about the critical life skill of swimming, especially before the summer season when water-related activities increase.
