TLC Aquatics Programs


The TransAlta Tri Leisure’s Swim Lessons have a whole new look for January 2023!

We have transitioned from Red Cross "Swim Kids" to the Lifesaving Society’s "Swim for Life" learn to swim program. Our Aquatics Team are excited to include enhancements to the Swim For Life program which will ensure all TLC swim lessons provide an excellent standard of instruction and a seamless transition for our patrons.

The transition chart above should help with this program change, or visit our website FAQ page (under the Leisure Pool Closure heading) where the most common questions are answered.
