Swimmer 5
The Lifesaving Society’s Swimmer programs at Carleton ensure your children learn how to swim before they get in too deep.
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.
