LEARN TO SWIM
The largest aspect of the swim club is our Learn to Swim program. Starting at 2-3 years of age, children progress through a unique set of levels aimed to develop confident swimmers who have fun and feel comfortable in the water.
Lessons start July 6, 2020 and will run M/W/F for Group A and T/Th/Sa for Group B. August lessons start on August 3, 2020. Each class is 25 minutes, during which your child will receive instruction from their coach, build swimming skills and, most importantly, have fun. Fee: $80/month
A rough correlation to the Red Cross program is laid out below.
A more descriptive Level & Objective handout for each class can be found here.

All CBSC swim lessons with the exception of Strokers 1, Strokers 2, Strokers 3 and Stroke Correction require an adult to be in the pool with the swimmer in a 1:1 ratio (1 parent per 1 child), as coaches are not permitted to be within 2m of the swimmer during the lessons.
Enrollment is limited, and registration for classes is on a first come, first serve basis on registration. At registration, children may only be registered in one Learn to Swim lesson per month.
