TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)- The City of Tallahassee is inviting you to help break a Guinness World Record next week.
Next Thursday, tens of thousands of people around the world will unite for the sixth year in a row to set the record for the world's largest swimming lesson.
The current records stands at 36,564 participants representing 22 different countries.
The event hopes to draw attention to the importance of learning to swim. Drowning is the leading cause of unintended, injury related death for children ages 1-5.
