Development as a Lifeguard
We want our give our members and family the training necessary to prevent injury and death around the water.
We do this predominantly by teaching swimming skills to the largest number of people in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
We believe that its possible for all children to be:
Watersafe by grade 3
Swim a mile by grade 5
Save a life by grade 7
We believe that children learn best if they learn:
Purposefully
Consciously
Regularly
The most important purpose for most of us are:
Community
Value/Significance
Adventure
Hope
What parents want:
