Swimming lessons changing to Swim for Life

There are some important changes to swimming lessons. Beginning with the Winter 2023 Leisure Guide, our lessons are changing from the Canadian Red Cross to the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program. To help residents, we’ve created a transition chart that shows which Swim for Life level to register for based on the previous Red Cross levels. Anyone registered for swimming lessons during the Fall 2022 session will also see their Swim for Life level on their report card.

If still unsure which level to register for, residents are advised to contact 311 or to visit their local pool to arrange a skills assessment (public admission fees and entry requirements apply).
