Swimmer 6
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 6 (Advanced Swimmers)
These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke, and they’ll complain about the 300 m workout.
