Sport Tourism

Lac La Biche Sport Tourism Working Group Sport clubs, community groups and organizations that host or are interested in hosting major sporting events, tournaments and competitions are invited to join us on September 9. Learn how the Sport Tourism Working Group and Lac La Biche County Event staff can support your organization with event planning, future bids, tournaments and major sporting events. Together, we can attract more events, strengthen sport in our region and put Lac La Biche County on the map as a sport tourism destination! As a Florida native, I never imagined I would try ice fishing, let alone enjoy it. However, after attending Lisa Roper’s Ladies On Ice Fishing Adventure, I had such a rewarding experience that I returned this past year and even brought a friend along. We were two Florida girls freezing and fishing and we absolutely loved it. It really is one of the best ladies events I’ve been to! The main reason for this is Lisa Roper and the amazing volunteers who help all the ladies who attended the event. There’s knot tying, proper fish handling, fish biology and many more stations that just made the weekend fun, educational and empowering.

Save the date! September 9th all sport clubs/groups and organizations hosting major events and sporting competitions are invited to GET YOUR GAME ON and Elevate Sport Tourism. Come learn how the Sport Tourism Working Group & Event staff can help upcoming bids, events and tournaments and put Lac La Biche County on the map.

I also want to extend my gratitude to the Conservation officers and Fish & Wildlife Sheriff’s; these ladies on truly amazing. EVEMARIE BECKER, FLORIDA (Photo: Lisa Roper Outdoors)

provides constant, natural resistance that combines both cardio and strength training. Fall and Winter 2026/27

swim for life

swim for life Water Smart® education is best started in childhood, but it certainly doesn’t end there! Swim for Life® is a comprehensive swim program with streams for swimmers at every stage of life. From infant to adult if you want to learn to swim or improve your strokes and endurance there’s a course for you!

parent & tot Swim for Life® Parent & Tot classes provide an opportunity to spend time with your child in a fun and social setting. We stress the importance of play in developing water positive attitudes and skills. While your child gains valuable exposure to being in and around the water, our certified instructors will also teach you how to be Water Smart® and keep your child safe in any aquatic setting. Activities and progressions in Parent & Tot are based on developmental stages. Register your child in the appropriate level based on their age:

Parent & Tot 1: 4 –12 months In Parent and Tot 1 your 4–12-month child will learn to enjoy the water while you gain Water Smart® knowledge.

Parent & Tot 2: 12 – 24 months In Parent and Tot 2 your 12 - 24 month child will learn to enjoy the water while you gain Water Smart® knowledge.

Parent & Tot 3: 2 – 3 years In Parent and Tot 3 your 2 - 3 year old will learn to enjoy the water while you gain Water Smart® knowledge.

PRESCHOOL Swim for Life® Preschool develops an appreciation of water and a healthy respect for it before young swimmers get in too deep. 3–5-year-olds will have fun while gaining foundational water skills, setting them up for continued success in Swim for Life® Swimmer levels. Water Smart® education is also incorporated into all Preschool levels; children will begin learning how to keep themselves safe in and around the water. Preschool 1: In Preschool 1 children are assisted while they gain confidence in basic water skills including: getting in and out of the water, jumping into chest deep water, floating, gliding, getting their faces wet, and blowing bubbles. Although the certified instructor provides assistance, parents are encouraged to participate until their child lets them know that they can do it themselves. Preschool 2: Children in Preschool 2 work on gaining more independent swimming skills. Swimmers will jump into chest-deep water by themselves, submerge their heads, and exhale underwater. They will also wear a lifejacket to glide and to get in and out of the water.

Preschool 3: Preschool 3 swimmers kick and glide their way through the water on their fronts and backs. In this level they work their way into deeper water; they’ll recover objects from under waistdeep water and head to deep water (with their lifejackets on) for side entries and jumping in! Preschool 4: Your Preschool 4 swimmer is getting pretty advanced! In this level they will tackle solo jumps into deeper water (including getting out by themselves), sideways entries, and opening their eyes underwater. Preschool 4 swimmers will also master a short independent swim (in their lifejacket) and gliding and kicking on their sides. Preschool 5: The most adventurous of the Preschool levels, Preschool 5 swimmers take on some big challenges! Children will work on forward rolls into deep water (wearing a lifejacket) and treading water for a full 10 seconds, 5m distance swims (with front crawl and back crawl), interval training, and even trying out whip-kick!

swimmer Swim for Life® Swimmer is a 6-level, success-oriented learn to swim program for 6 – 12-year-olds. We stress lots of inwater swimming practice as kids learn fundamental strokes and skills, mastering them as they progress through the program. Swimmers also learn how to be safe in, on, and around the water through Water Smart® education incorporated into every level. SWIMMER LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS: Swimmer 1: Beginner swimmers gain confidence in Swimmer 1. They’ll will learn to open their eyes, exhale, and hold their breath underwater. Swimmers will also get comfortable jumping into the water, with and without a lifejacket. Once they’ve learned their front and back floats and glides, they’ll kick on through to Swimmer 2. Swimmer 2: Swimmer 2 is for advanced beginners. These swimmers will gain comfort in deeper water by jumping in and learning to enter sideways while wearing a lifejacket. By the end of Swimmer 2, swimmers will be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid, swim 10m on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training. Swimmer 3: In Swimmer 3 swimmers start getting introduced to more difficult skills and increased fitness components. This includes dives, front-somersaults, handstands, and longer distance swims (15m for front crawl, back crawl, and whip kick) and interval training.

Swimmer 4: Swimmer 4 swimmers are at an intermediate level. By the end of Swimmer 4, swimmers are expected to be able to swim 5m underwater, swim lengths with multiple swim strokes, do front crawl sprints, front and back crawl interval training. As part of this level, swimmers will also complete the Canadian Swim to Survive® standard. Swimmer 5: In Swimmer 5, swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. Technique and endurance also receive greater focus as swimmers will need to complete longer distance swims and interval training sessions to progress to Swimmer 6. Swimmer 6: As the final level in the Swim for Life® Swimmer program, Swimmer 6 includes the most advanced skillset. Swimmers will master stride entries, compact jumps, and lifesaving kicks. They will also refine their strokes to increase their swimming strength, power, and endurance—critical for success in the 300m workout required to complete this level.
