Parent & Tot (ages 4-36 months) (Parented)
The Lifesaving Society Parent & Tot program structures in-water interaction between parent and child to stress the importance of play, developing water-positive attitudes and skills. Activities and progressions are based on child development, so parents register in the level appropriate for their child’s age. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Parent & Tot levels.
Preschool (ages 3-5 yrs) (Unparented)
The Preschool Program gives children a head start on learning to swim. Preschool Programs develop an appreciation and healthy respect for
the water before these kids get in too deep. In our five basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5 year olds become comfortable in the water and have fun developing a foundation of water skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Preschool levels.
Swimmer (ages 6+ yrs) (Unparented)
The Lifesaving Society Swimmer program makes sure children learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Progressions accommodate swimmers 6 years of age and older, including beginners and swimmers who want to build on the basics. Lots of in-water practice develops solid swimming strokes and skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Swimmer levels.
Adult Swimmer
The Adult Swimmer Program is for beginners who may be just starting out or swimmers who just want help with their strokes. Within the Adult Swimmer curriculum, participants set their own goals to develop water confidence and smooth recognizable strokes. Water Smart® education is part of all levels. Instructors should be prepared to adapt these items and awards to accommodate the needs of adult learners and provide the flexibility for them to select the skills they want to learn to achieve their personal swimming goals.
Additional Swim Lesson Options
The City of Saskatoon also offers Private, Semi-Private, Family and Stroke Improvement Lessons. Refer to the seasonal Leisure Guide for more information.
