Available programs

  • Swim for Life®

    This is the foundation for swimming skill development. Swimmers learn safe entries into various depths of water, treading water, breath control, opening eyes under the water, front and back floats, lateral rollovers, front, back and side glides, flutter kick on front and back, and front crawl.

  • Swim to Survive

    Learning the three self-rescue skills taught in Swim to Survive is an important first step in being safe around water. Swim to Survive could make the difference between life and death, when immersion in water is sudden and unexpected. Participants will learn to ROLL into deep water, TREAD water (1 min.) and SWIM 50m.

School requirements

All participants are required to wear swim wear and bring a towel. Swim goggles are optional and not required.

All other required equipment and lifejackets are provided. Lifeguard on duty on pool deck.

Note: If a child requires a support staff/aide in school, they will also require this support in the water.
