Here's what you need to know about registering for Summer 2023 swimming lessons and advanced aquatic programs:
SEPARATE SUMMER REGISTRATION DATE FOR LESSONS ONLY
This summer, swimming lessons will open for registration Wednesday, June 14 at 6am. This is to allow Winter/Spring Term 2 lesson instructors to give parents guidance on what level their swimmers should register for next.
Please note: for Summer 2023, this separate registration date applies to swimming lessons ONLY. Waterfit and advanced aquatics registration will open during general Summer registration at 6am on April 19.
NEW FOR 2023: SWIM FOR LIFE
We're excited to now offer the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life lesson program.
Swim for Life is a nationwide comprehensive program that focuses on the development of fundamental skills for learners of all ages and abilities. It includes fun, hands-on activities that teach Water Smart education for the whole family. Swim for Life also flows seamlessly into the Canadian Swim Patrol program, and then into the Lifesaving Society’s lifesaving and vocational training awards.
Determine your swimmer's level in the new program using the chart below:
