Swimmer 4
The Lifesaving Society’s Swimmer programs at Carleton ensure your children learn how to swim before they get in too deep.
Winter 2026 Registration Opens
December 10th @ 9am
Swimmer progressions accommodate children 5 years and older, including absolute beginners as well as swimmers who want to build on the basics. We stress lots of in-water practice to develop solid swimming strokes and skills. We incorporate Water Smart education in all levels.
Swimmer 4 (Intermediate Swimmers)
These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 m 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 m and 4 x 25 m front or back crawl interval training.
