Phone to book a free swim assessment. During an assessment, a senior instructor will spend up to 15 minutes with your child to properly gage their swimming ability and match it to the Lifesaving Swim for Life program.

Situations in which a child is registered at a level above their skills could create a safety issue for the class and instructor. Such scenarios could result in a withdrawal from swimming lessons. Please contact us if you are unsure of what level to register your child.
