The event is on June 21 starting at 8:30 a.m. During the day, thousands of participants will take part in more than 20 counties on five continents. The swim lesson will last for 30 minutes.
Participants and spectators can purchase a discounted ticket online for $19.99, which includes the lesson and all-day access to the park. All ages are welcome to participate.
Participants must register by 8:30 a.m. either online or at the park the day of the event.
