SWIM LESSONS WILL ALSO LOOK DIFFERENT...

In accordance to the Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Instructor COVID guidelines, the following modifications have been made to ensure the safety of both instructor and child: • • • • • •

All swim lessons will be taught with an instructor on deck.

All preschool swim levels (Starfish/Duck, Splash’n Play and Sea Turtle/Sea Otter) will be mandatory parent/caregiver participation. The parent/caregiver is now accountable for ensuring the child is safe in the water, which reduces contact with the instructor.

All preschool levels must be a one-to-one ratio of child-to-parent/caregiver in the water during the entire duration of the lesson.

Swim Kids lessons 5-10 are conducted without a parent/caregiver and the instructor will teach on deck.

This will ensure physical distancing for all swimmers and instructor.

Swim Kids 7-10 will now be offered as two separate classes: SK 7 & 8 and SK 9 & 10.

If you cannot remember the last level your child completed, please call Customer Service at 604.898.3604 and we will be happy to look that up for you.
