Saturday Swim Lessons

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.

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 metres on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 metres).

These junior swimmers will dive and do in-water front somersaults and handstands. They'll work on 15 metres of front crawl, back crawl and 10 metres of whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 15 metres.

These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 metres 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 metres and 4 x 25 metres front or back crawl interval training.
