We have changed our swim lesson program from the Red Cross to Lifesaving Society.
Aquatics
Here are the benefits of Lifesaving Society Program: • Levels are more attainable and include fun items, while continuing to improve on skills • More focus on survival skills and swimming ability versus perfect strokes • Practical application of water safety in the water • Program leads seamlessly into the Society’s lifesaving training and leadership awards • Municipalities in our surrounding area are also offering the Lifesaving Program, therefore all pools in our area will be teaching the same program,so there will be consistency with levels and less confusion if your child has taken lessons elsewhere.
Program Design The Lifesaving Program is designed similar to the Red Cross Program • Parent & Tot for parents and children up to 3 years of age (similar to Starfish, Duck & Sea Turtle) • Preschool for children 3 to 5 years (similar to Sea Otter through to Whale) • Swimmer for children 1-6 years and older (similar to Swim Kids 1 – 10) If you have any questions please call us or schedule a free swim assessment. *COVID guidelines are in effect
Admission standards are in place to increase the safety of young bathers and to provide an additional level of supervision. Norfolk County pools use a wristband policy and facility swim test to identify young and at-risk swimmers in the pool.
Facility Swim Test
Pool Admission Standards
To pass the facility swim test, a child must be able to swim two widths of the pool with his or her face in the water while using a comfortable breathing pattern. Swimmers must be able to complete the entire distance without stopping or touching the bottom of the pool.

Pool fouling may cause closure of our pools anywhere from 1-48 hours When a pool fouling occurs the pool must be closed. This causes disruption to our programs, is costly, and is an inconvenience to you - our customers. Help keep our pool open by following these tips and health practices that will help stop the spread of germs and reduce the number of closures in our pools: 1. Feed your children at least one hour before swimming. 2. Wash your body thoroughly with soap and water before entering the pool. 3. Take your children to the bathroom before swimming. 4. Swimmers under 3 years of age, swimmers over 3 years of age who are not toilet-trained and adults who are incontinent must wear a swim diaper. 5. Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet or after changing diapers. 6. Do not spit in the pool. 7. Do not swim when you have diarrhea or are feeling sick. This is especially important for children in diapers.
Swimming Lessons
Parent & Tot Program (4 months - 3 years)
Spend quality time with your child while you both have fun and learn and socialize through structured in-water interaction between parent and child, we stress the importance of play in developing water-positive attitudes and skills. We provide Lifesaving Society Water Smart® tips on keeping your child safe in any aquatic setting. Certified instructors provide guidance and answers to your questions. Because activities and progressions are based on child development, you register in the level appropriate for your child’s age: 4–12 months, 12–24 months, or 2–3 years. Parent & Tot 1 - Designed for the 4 to 12-month-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent. Parent & Tot 2 - Designed for the 12 to 24-month-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent. Parent & Tot 3 - Designed for the 2 to 3-year-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent. Squirts - Designed for the 2.5-year-old to learn and to prepare them for the transition from parent to unparented program.
Preschool Program (3 - 5 years)
Give your child a head start on learning to swim. The Lifesaving Society Preschool program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep. In our basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun acquiring and developing a foundation of water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Preschool levels. Squirts - Transitional program that includes parent in the water with the child for the first 5 lessons. Parent observes lessons from viewing area for lessons 6 - 10. Program prepares child to enter the unparented Preschool program when 3 years of age. Preschool 1 - These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We’ll help them jump into chest deep water. They’ll floats and glide on their front and back, and learn to get their face wet
and blow bubbles underwater. Preschool 2 - These preschoolers learn to jump into chest deep water by themselves, and get in and get out wearing a lifejacket. They’ll submerge and exhale underwater. While wearing a lifejacket they’ll glide on their front and back. Preschool 3 - These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while wearing a lifejacket. They’ll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They’ll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back. Preschool 4 - Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They’ll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They’ll master a short (5 m) swim on their front wearing a lifejacket and gliding and kicking on their side. Preschool 5 - These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a lifejacket and treading water for 10 sec. They’ll work on front and back crawl swims for 5 m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.
Swimmer Program (ages 6 +)
The Lifesaving Society’s 6-level Swimmer program makes sure your children learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Swimmer progressions accommodate children 5 years and older including absolute beginners as well as swimmers who want to build on the basics. We stress lots of in-water practice to develop solid swimming strokes and skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Swimmer levels. Swimmer 1 - These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a lifejacket. They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll work on floats, glides and kicking through the water on their front and back. Swimmer 2 - These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a lifejacket. They’ll be able to support themselves at the surface without
an aid, learn whip kick, swim 10 m on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m).
Swimming Lessons
Swimmer 3 - These junior swimmers will dive, do in-water front somersaults, and handstands. They’ll work on 15 m of front crawl, back crawl and 10 m of whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 15 m. Swimmer 4 - These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 m underwater and lengths of front, back crawl, whip kick, and breaststroke arms with breathing. Their new bag of tricks includes the completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive® Standard. They’ll cap it all off with front crawl sprints over 25 m and 4 x 25 m front or back crawl interval training. Swimmer 5 - These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50 m swims of each, and breaststroke over 25 m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25 m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50 m front or back crawl; and 4 x 15 m breaststroke. Swimmer 6 - These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and they’ll complain about the 300 m workout.
Swim Patrol
The Lifesaving Society’s 3-level Canadian Swim Patrol program provides enriched training for those who want to develop swim strokes and skills while having fun in the challenging world of lifesaving. Swim Patrol develops swimming strength and efficiency with emphasis on Water Smart® behaviour. Skill drills enhance capability in the water, good physical conditioning and lifesaving judgment. Rookie Patrol Swimmer 7 - Swimmers continue stroke development with 50 m swims of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. Lifesaving sport skills include a 25 m obstacle swim and 15 m object
carry. First aid focuses on assessment of conscious victims, contacting EMS, and treatment for bleeding. Fitness improves in 350 m workouts and 100 m timed swims. Ranger Patrol Swimmer 8 - Swimmers develop better strokes over 75 m swims of each stroke.
