Swimmers from Edina Swim Club, Edina Country Club, and many other local charities and clubs stand poolside, ready to help break the record for the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson. Public pools across the world participated in this lesson Tuesday, June 18, from 10 to 10:30 a.m. Early reports indicate the effort may have been a few swimmers short of the record; 606 swimmers showed up, five less than the current record of 611.
The lesson was done to bring attention to water safety. (Sun Current photo by intern Molly Thomson)
