Jump in and Swim!
We strive to deliver the best quality swim lessons possible. The Swim for Life ® is program is designed to take swimmers from their very first entry into the water all the way up to advanced swimming like stroke development and lifeguard training. Preschool levels have animal mascots and the Swimmer levels have numbered and coloured badges.
Swim lessons are available year-round at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre and are offered in the summer at the Brock Outdoor Pool.

Swim Lesson Evaluations
Not sure what level to register your child in? Swim evaluations are available during any of our leisure or public swim times.
To request an evaluation, visit the front desk and a lifeguard/swim instructor will help you find the appropriate level. Remember to bring your swimming attire because this will be an in-water assessment. Children under the age of 7 are required to have an adult in the water with them for the evaluation.
