Why is there new programming?
The development of this new programming comes as the outcome of an announcement made last year by The Canadian Red Cross. The municipality was informed that The Canadian Red Cross would be ending its swimming program support throughout the country by December 2022 to direct more attention to humanitarian demands.
Municipal staff in partnership with The Lifesaving Society worked closely together to develop the new Kawartha Swim programs, set to replace The Canadian Red Cross aquatic programs which were previously offered.
What does the new Kawartha Swim program look like?
Kawartha Swim programs focus on developing strong swimmers who make smart decisions around water. Program levels are offered for Parent and Tot (4 months to 36 months of age), Pre-School (3 to 6 years of age) and School Age (5 to 14 years of age).
Kawartha Swim Pre-School programming features creative and unique new program level names that incorporate local lakes and fish species.

Kawartha Swim offers three Parent and Tot levels which are designed to spend quality time with your child while you both have fun, learn and socialize in the water.

Become a little fish and learn to swim through our Pre-School programs. Designed for children ages 3 to 6 years old, our Pre-school programs feature six levels that will develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water. Children progress through our Pre-School programs based on skill.
School Age Programs
