Parent & Tot (3 levels): for parents and children up to 3 years of age. Through structured in-water interaction between parent and child, we stress the importance of play in developing water positive attitudes and skills. Because activities and progressions are based on child development, parents register in the level appropriate for their child’s age: 4–12 months, 12–24 months, or 2–3 years Preschool (5 levels): for children 3–5 years old. The Preschool program develops an appreciation and healthy respect for the water. In our basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year-olds become comfortable in the water and have fun acquiring and developing a foundation of water skills.

SWIMMER (6 levels): for children 5 years and older. The Lifesaving Society’s six-level Swimmer program makes sure children learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Swimmer progressions accommodate children 5 years and older including absolute beginners as well as swimmers who want to build on the basics. We stress lots of in-water practice to develop solid swimming strokes and skills. The Lifesaving Society’s three-level Canadian SWIM PATROL program provides enriched training for those who want to develop swim strokes and skills while having fun in the challenging world of lifesaving. Swim Patrol develops swimming strength and efficiency with emphasis on Water Smart® behaviour. Skill drills enhance capability in the water, good physical conditioning and lifesaving judgment. Content is organized in modules – Water Proficiency, First Aid, Recognition and Rescue. Swim Patrol levels are often programmed as the top three levels of a learn-to-swim continuum

BRONZE MEDAL AWARDS may be combined with First Aid awards: e.g., Emergency First Aid with Bronze Medallion, Workplace Standard First Aid with Bronze Cross. Combining first aid and lifesaving or lifeguarding awards allows candidates to earn both certifications at the same time. National Lifeguard (40 hr.): National Lifeguard education is designed to develop a sound understanding of lifeguarding principles, good judgment and a mature and responsible attitude toward the role of the lifeguard. The course develops the basic lifeguarding skills, principles and decision-making processes that will assist the lifeguard to evaluate and adapt to different aquatic facilities and emergencies. LEADERSHIP INSTRUCTOR PROGRAMS: Lifesaving Society leadership training progressions recognize that there are different stages in the growth and development of instructors from beginner to expert. Training focuses on developing the essential knowledge, skills, behaviours and values of the Society.

Adult Swimmer (offering 2 levels): for people over 16 years. Working with certified instructors, Adult Swimmer candidates set their own goals. Whether just starting out or wanting to improve their current swimming ability and fitness, Adult Swimmers develop water confidence and smooth recognizable strokes
