This PD Day group is designed for children to gain confidence in the water, learn basic swimming skills and pool safety rules, and start to prepare for community swim lessons.  

With fun games, skill-building activities, and a focus on safety, children will receive an introduction to foundational swim skills and enjoy the water in a positive environment. 

For this swim program, parents/caregivers MUST accompany their child in the water and be within arms reach at all times, even if they are wearing a floatation device. Parents/caregivers must be comfortable moving through chest-deep water (1.2m), understand how to be safe in the pool, and be able to respond to the needs of their swimmer. If this does not describe the parent/caregivers comfort in water, please contact tr [at] tvcc.on.ca (tr[at]tvcc[dot]on[dot]ca) for alternate pool programs.
