Swimming Lessons
Since the Summer of 2022, we exclusively offer the Lifesaving Society Swim For Life program. What does this mean for you and your kids?
- Levels:
- Levels do not always correspond directly with other swim programs your child may have participated in (ie. YMCA Swim, Red Cross Swim Kids).
- Click here for a handy registration guide to make sure you are placing your child in the appropriate class.
- Program Focus:
- You may notice some differences in what your child is being taught. While both programs lead to capable and safe swimmers, the Lifesaving Society Swim For Life program focuses on 3 key strokes (front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke) and survival skills in the water (treading water, changing direction, safe entries) along with some important Water Smart messages repeated throughout the program (“always swim with a buddy”, etc.).
- Click here for more information about the Swim For Life program.
- Feedback Materials:
- Every child in the Swim For Life program gets a progress card on which we will provide feedback for each level. In addition, they will receive a level ribbon when they successfully complete a level.
Registration for Summer 2024 Classes is now OPEN!
