Items to note in preparation for your summer camp:

• At least (1) swim suit … due to the physical nature of these courses, it’s recommended that candidates wear a one-piece bathing suit or well-fitting swim trunks.
• A couple of towels … it’s beneficial to have more than (1) towel in order to stay warm and dry in-between swims.
• Swim Goggles are strongly recommended. Borrowing goggles from our ‘lost & found’ is not recommended for health & safety reasons.

• A full cafeteria LUNCH IS INCLUDED with our March Break and Summer Lifesaving Camps. No outside food is allowed inside the dining area. Our cafeteria has a selection of vegetarian, gluten free and Halal food options. Participants are encouraged to bring SNACKS and will be given breaks throughout the day to grab food/water. Please keep in mind that Carleton Pool is a nut-free zone.
• For those not familiar with the Carleton Campus, see this map: Campus Map The POOL is in the Athletics Centre (AC) – 2^nd Floor, which is attached to Alumni Hall (AH) and the Field House (FH).

• The camp runs 8:30 am-4:30 pm.
• Please keep in mind that Parking is not free, so please pay for parking if you intend to stay in Lot 5 longer than just a drop-off, in order to avoid getting a ticket from Parking Services.
