Adult Swimming Lessons
Lessons offered:
Preschool: Ages 3-5 years. The Swim for Life Preschool program gives children a head start on learning to swim. These 3–5-year-old preschoolers learn to be comfortable in the water and have fun. They develop a foundation of water skills and a healthy respect for the water before getting in too deep. Water Smart® education is taught in all Preschool levels.
Swimmer 1-6: Ages 5+, to register your child for level 1, they must be 5 years of age by the last day of class. No exceptions will be made.
In the Swim for Life Swimmer Program, children must pass one level to move on to the next and can retake a level as many times as needed. The Swim for Life Swimmer progressions challenges school-aged children 5 years and older to learn safe entries, deep water support, underwater skills, and swimming strokes. These Swimmer levels also develop everlasting habits for healthy, active living. Water Smart® education is part of every level.
Rookie (7): Ages 8-12 years. Rookie Patrol features the development of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke over 50 m each, timed 100 m swims, and 350 m workouts. A work-hard/play-hard approach develops swimming strength and efficiency with emphasis on personal responsibility and Water Smart® behaviour.

Adult Swimmer: Ages 18+. The Adult Swimmer Program is for both beginners who may be just starting out and for swimmers who just want help with their strokes. Participants set their own goals to develop confidence and smooth recognizable strokes.
