This is a great introduction to Lifesaving Sport, which involves learning lifesaving skills in a competitive setting. Lifesaving Sport FUNdamentals is an ongoing development program, with of 5 fundamental levels comprised of an obstacle swim, tow with fins, lifesaving medley, throwing accuracy, and object support. The program teaches team building, fair play, ethics and focuses on improving overall fitness, including strength, power and endurance. This is a great way to bridge the gap between swimming lessons and leadership courses while also developing stronger swimming abilities, staying fit and having fun. Athletes in this group participate in a 1hour session each week with a certified Lifesaving Sport Coach. Swimmer’s goals vary from skill development to competing at provincial sport events!
More information about the program can be found on the Lifesaving Society website.
This fall, Carleton Athletics will be offering youth a recreational introduction to this growing Olympic sport with the launch of our NEW Lifesaving Sport Fundamentals program—the only one of its kind in Ottawa.
Come check out the program and give Lifesaving Sport a try at our up-coming ‘free’ open house event!
