FREE EVENT*: The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson Event at Schlitterbahn Waterparks!

 

Help Make History - Join us for  in the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson!

Schlitterbahn Waterparks are host locations for the world record breaking largest simultaneous swimming lesson on June 14^th, 2012.

On Thursday, June 14th, 2012, thousands of kids and adults at aquatics facilities around the globe will unite to set a new global record for The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL). Each of the four Schlitterbahn Waterpark locations are official host locations for the 2012 WLSL record-setting event, taking place at 10 a.m. (CDT.)

For the second year in a row, Schlitterbahn Waterparks, in partnership with Colin’s Hope and the Galveston Island Beach Patrol,  is participating in the world’s largest swimming lesson in order to help promote awareness about drowning prevention.

The inaugural WLSL event established the Guinness World Record™ for the largest simultaneous swimming lesson ever conducted in 2010 to build awareness about the vital importance of teaching children to swim to prevent drowning. Last year’s WLSL event grew more than 400% with 20,000+ participants representing 13 countries around the globe and 45 states in the US.

Tragically, drowning remains the second leading cause of unintended, injury related death of children under 14 and a leading cause of death for children ages1-5. Research shows participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged 1 to 4, yet many kids do not receive formal swimming or water safety training.

The WLSL program works to promote drowning prevention through education by focusing the energy of thousands of participants on a clear and specific message all at the same time.

The special event at each of the Schlitterbahn locations not only helps local families learn important water safety, but it will also allow them to enjoy the park at a exclusive discount. *The swimming lesson event is FREE, but park admission is not included. Each participant will receive a special discount coupon to purchase an admission ticket to the waterpark that day for just $29.99 plus tax. (A savings of over 30%.)

Advance registration is required and must be completed online at http://www.schlitterbahn.com/wlsl by midnight on Sunday, June 10^th.The swimming lesson will take place at 10 am, participants must arrive at the park by 9:00 am in order to participate.

“Last year we had over 300 participants and helped set the Guinness World Record. We are excited to participate in the record breaking swimming lesson again.”, says Ron Sutula, Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark General Manager. “In the waterpark industry, drowning prevention is a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. Our number one priority is guest safety, and this organization is synonymous with that.”

We look forward to seeing you there!

Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark Update

It's a beautiful 82-degree day in Kansas City and a great time for a project update! We are so excited to introduce a long list of great new rides and a park that is double in size for the 2012 season. Here are a few images of activity inside the park as we put the finishing touches on a major expansion that has been a year in the making.

Below is Boogie Bahn, Kansas City's only surf ride. A rapidly moving sheet of water will rush out of the gates just below the fence in the picture. The water streams across the wave-shaped surface as surfers maneuver on the surface of the wave that is created. Thousands of gallons of water flow across the padded surface with a water depth is just a couple of inches. Beneath the sheet of water is the light blue foam covered surface you can see here. The darker blue area is actually a giant grate through which the water drops after it leaves the foam surface.

Below is a behind the scenes look at the tank through which the water for Boogie Bahn is channeled. The openings along the lower right side of the image lead to the gates that open to the ride surface.

Next is the giant Archimedes screw that pumps water to the 3,000-foot King Kaw Rapids River. If you have been to the park, you have seen a similar screw pump at Torrent River. This screw is much bigger. It elevates water along side a 155-foot Aqua Veyer which lifts guests in tubes to the top.

Finally, here is a peek at the new Tornado Alley slide tower. Some of our guests were treated to a sneak peek of two of the three slides at the end of last season. Twister and Cyclone are two head-first mat slides, and Whirlwind is a totally enclosed dark tube slide. Our other slide tower at the park is 42 feet in height. On Tornado Alley, guests experience a change in elevation of more than 60 feet from platform to splash down.

Check back soon for more exciting news as opening day approaches!
