• 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 notebook and a pen or pencil may be needed as the camp progresses.
• Manual: A Canadian Lifesaving Manual (CLM) will be supplied to all candidates who purchased one when registering.
