Teen Swim Lessons Beginner

In Canada, knowing how to swim is a life skill. In families new to Canada, older children may not have learned to swim in their younger years. Teens, age 12-17, like younger children, need to at least be able to stay afloat. In its Swim to Survive® Standard, the Lifesaving Society defines the minimum standard of swimming skill: roll into deep water, tread water for one minute, swim 50 metres. These are the essential minimum skills required to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.
