At the end of 2022, the Canadian Red Cross will no longer be offering their swim lesson program. Panorama Recreation will be transitioning to the Lifesaving Society Swim for Life program starting with summer swim lessons. Check out the transition chart online to find out what equivalent level to register your child.

Moving away from Canadian Red Cross swim is a big change. We're here to help you understand how the Lifesaving Society programs compare to Canadian Red Cross Programs. Both programs have similar components, the Swim for Life program is a high-level comparison of the Canadian Red Cross Swim program.
