Description
Swim Lesson Dates: July 6, July 7, July 8, July 9, July 10, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 16, July 17
Participants will develop confidence in an open‑water environment as they build fundamental swimming skills. They will practice safely jumping into deep water and learn to feel comfortable performing sideways falls while wearing a lifejacket. Swimmers will also develop the ability to support themselves at the surface without assistance. Skill development will progress to include whip kick, 10 metre swims on both the front and back, and introductory flutter‑kick interval training. As swimmers advance, they will explore other skills such as dives, front somersaults, and in‑water handstands. Stroke technique will continue to improve as they work toward 15 metres of front crawl and back crawl, along with 10 metres of whip kick.
For children 5–8 years. If the participant is out of the age range online, please email beaches@halifax.ca to see if accommodation is possible.
Please be aware that swim lessons may be delayed, relocated, or cancelled with minimal notice due to water quality testing or inclement weather. To ensure you receive timely updates, please verify that the contact information on the registrant’s account is accurate and up to date.
