SWIM FOR LIFE
We 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.
