Parents will learn strategies to help them with their babies to become comfortable in the water. Getting wet, various ways to hold their child in the water to experience buoyancy and movement, and water safety messages will help them begin their journey towards becoming little swimmers.

$60

Parents and their babies will learn more about fun ways to get wet, start blowing bubbles and experience floating on their fronts and backs as well as moving through the water in a variety of ways.

$60

Parents will help their toddlers become more comfortable in the water by learning to put their faces in the water and trying to submerge, and to float more independently on their fronts and backs, along with learning to kick and swim.

$60

This is the first level in the Tri Leisure Preschool Program where children learn through fun games and songs to blow bubbles, float on their fronts and backs with assistance, and do front and back glides with assistance.

$60

Swimmers work on independent front and back floats and glides and learn to add a kick with their glides. They’ll begin to learn how to do rhythmic breathing as well as becoming more comfortable going underwater.

$60

Swimmers add more to their water competency by floating longer on front and back, rolling over in their floats, gliding farther with kicking and doing roll-over glides. They also experience some deep water by slipping into water over their heads, submerging to blow bubbles and doing deep water floats.

$60

Swimmers further develop their front and back glides with kick and are introduced to a side glide as well as swimming on their front. They also learn to jump into deep water and return safely to the side.

$60

Swimmers increase the distances in their front, back, and side glides, swim on their front and learn to swim on their backs. They also jump into deep water wearing a PFD/lifejacket, do some surface support and swims or kicks for 5 metres.

$60

Building the foundation of swimming skill development, beginner swimmers will gain confidence in the water as they learn safe entries into shallow water, submerging and opening their eyes underwater and breath control. They will learn floats and glides, glides with kicking, and begin swimming on their front.

$60

Building on the skills from Swimmer 1 - Beginner, swimmers will gain confidence in the water as they learn safe entries into various depths of water, treading water in a lifejacket, opening their eyes underwater, and breath control. Once they have learned their floats, rollovers, glides, and kicks from front to back, they will front crawl their way into the next level.

$60

Swimmers will gain comfort in deeper water by jumping into water over their heads and returning to safety. They will learn more about breath control and be challenged by the introduction of various skills including flutter kicking on their front, back and side, and rolling over in their glides. Distances will be increased for their front swim and a back swim will be introduced.

$60

Swimmers will gain comfort in deeper water by jumping in, learning their sideways entry, and treading water without a lifejacket. Swimmers will be challenged by the introduction of various skills including vertical whip kick with an aid and swimming front crawl and back crawl for 10 meters. Swimmers will get to work on their Swim to Survive Skills and be introduced to interval training.

$60

Swimmers will learn kneeling dives and be challenged with the introduction of some fun skills such as handstands and somersaults, as well as learning more about breath control. They will continue to work on their flutter kick, whip kick and front and back crawl. Increased distances in their interval training and a distance swim challenge are also included.

$60

Swimmers will make a splash with their forward roll entries and continue to work on their kneeling dives, somersaults, and handstands. Increased time and distance components are incorporated for skills learned such as flutter kick on front and back, whip kick on back, front, and back crawl, and interval training.

$60

Swimmers start moving towards an intermediate level of swimming. Swimmers will tread water for 45 seconds and learn to swim underwater for 5 meters. Swimmers will improve their front crawl, back crawl, and whip kick on their backs and be introduced to elementary back stroke as well as doing whip kick on their fronts.

$75

Swimmers will move from a beginner to intermediate swimming level. Swimmers will complete standing dives, tread water for 1 minute, and work towards being able to swim underwater for 5 meters. Swimmers will achieve the Swim to Survive standard by being able to roll into deep water, tread water for 1 minute and swim 50 meters. In addition to improving their front crawl, back crawl, and whip kick, swimmers will be introduced to breaststroke.

$75

Swimmers will be challenged with a whole new set of skills: shallow dives, tuck jumps (cannonball entries), eggbeater kick, and backward somersaults (in water). Technique and endurance will also receive greater focus as swimmers will need to complete longer distance swims and interval training sessions for all their strokes.

$75

As the final level in the Swimmer program, swimmers will build up their advanced skill set. Swimmers will work towards mastering stride entries, compact jumps, and lifesaving kicks. They will also refine their strokes to increase their swimming strength, power, and endurance—critical for success in the 300 m workout required to complete the level.

$75

Rookie Patrol lays the foundation of the Swim Patrol Program. It includes 4 main components: stroke refinement, fitness, first aid and lifesaving.

$105

Stroke refinement and underwater proficiency continues to be a focus in Ranger Patrol, fitness levels will increase, more first aid skills are added and lifesaving skills expanded.

$105

Star Patrol will prepare swimmers for the Bronze Star award. Strokes will continue to be refined, fitness challenges will be harder, first aid and lifesaving skills will be enhanced. Swimmers that complete Star Patrol will be well on their way to becoming bona fide Lifesavers.

$105

One-on-one time is spent working on swim criteria in the participant’s specific swimming level. For an additional cost, another participant of similar swimming skills may be registered in one private lesson. Please bring the original progress card to the instructor at the start of the session so they can check off items that have been completed.

Private lessons cost $110 for 5 classes | $88 for 4 classes

Additional swimmers: $75 (5 classes) | $60 (4 classes)

This course is a pre-Bronze Medallion training standard and excellent preparation for success in Bronze Medallion and a fun introduction to lifesaving sport. Bronze Star develops proficiency, lifesaving skill, and personal fitness. Candidates refine their stroke mechanics, acquire self-rescue skills, and apply fitness principles in training workouts.

$115

This course teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education: judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness. Rescuers learn tows and carries, and defense and release methods in preparation for challenging rescues of increased risk involving conscious and unconscious victims of various types. Lifesavers develop stroke efficiency and endurance in a timed swim. Includes CPR A.
