Description
Swim Lesson Dates: July 7, July 9, July 14, July 16, July 21, July 23, July 28, July 30
Participants will advance their skills and confidence in an open‑water environment while building strong lifesaving, endurance, and introductory first aid skills. They will continue to refine their strokes with increasing distances, progressing from 50 metres to 75 metres and eventually 100 metres swims of front crawl, back crawl, and breaststroke. Participants will take on challenging endurance sets, including 350 metres, 600 metres, and timed swims ranging from 100 metres to 300 metres. Lifesaving skills will be developed through various activities, and learn essential victim‑management techniques. Participants will also learn defence methods, victim removals, and how to roll over and support a victim in shallow water.
For children 8–15 years. If the participant is out of the age range online, please email beaches@halifax.ca to see if accommodation is possible.
