USA Swimming Foundation Sets Guinness Record for Largest Kickboard
By USA Swimming Communications
The USA Swimming Foundation kicked-off its 10 th annual Make a Splash Tour presented by Phillips 66
today in Washington, D.C., by setting a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® record for the World’s Largest
Kickboard. This gigantic kickboard, which is 10 times the standard adult size board at 18 feet high by 11
feet wide, will serve as a larger-than-life petition for all Americans to urge Congress to add the question,
“Do you know how to swim?” to the 2020 Census. Drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental
death for children under the age of 14. The Make a Splash Tour presented by Phillips 66 will visit four
cities nationwide during June to raise awareness around the importance of learning how to swim.
