First Aid

Our First Aid courses are offered by Canadian Red Cross or Lifesaving Society certified instructors. Our courses will help you become considerably more confident in your skills to be able to help someone in distress. If a medical crisis strikes, prepare yourself to control emergencies as you wait for professional responders to arrive. Caregivers are welcome to attend.

When arriving at the pool please line up to the right in the hallway on twometre decal markings and wait until the Lifeguard opens the door for check in.
