Swim For Life Lessons

6 months+

Swim for Life® is a comprehensive swim instruction program that focuses on the acquisition and development of fundamental swim strokes and skills for learners of all ages and abilities.

Swim for Life® is accessible, flexible, success-oriented and fun. Instructors ensure swimmers get lots of in-water practice in every lesson. Swim for Life® flows seamlessly into the Canadian Swim Patrol program and then into the Lifesaving Society’s lifesaving and vocational training awards.

As an integral part of the Swim for Life® program, Water Smart® education provides information and experiences that help participants make safe choices when in, on, and around water and ice.
