Before choosing a swimming class, please review the registration guidelines provided below.

The Swim for Life program from the Lifesaving Society is composed of five modules:

• PARENT AND TOT 1, 2, 3 for parents and children up to 3 years;
• PRESCHOOL 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for children 3–5 years;
• SWIMMER 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for children 5 years;
• SWIMMER 7,8,9 (SWIM PATROL) for children older than 8 years old;
• To continue your training towards the lifeguard program, you must register for the Bronze Star (swimmer 10)!
• ADULT SWIMMER 1, 2, 3 for people over 16 years;
• FITNESS SWIMMER for swimmers of any age who want to improve their overall physical fitness.

We’ve designed the modules so they flow together seamlessly. You can program them independently – or as you can see in the Programming Flow Chart on the following page – program them all so they flow logically into each other and on into the basic lifesaving awards: Rookie, Ranger and Star Patrol.

Preschoolers move from Preschool to Swimmer based on age – traditionally around 5–6 years. Preschoolers who have completed Preschool 1 or 2, would move to Swimmer 1; if they have completed Preschool 3, 4, or 5, they would move into Swimmer 2.

Content is organized as follows:

• Entries and exits
• Surface support
• Underwater skills
• Swim to Survive® skills
• Movement / Swimming skills
• Fitness
• Water Smart® education

Mandatory equipment for the Swim for Life program includes lifejackets of all sizes. Other learn-to-swim equipment such as kickboards, pull buoys and toys will expand the scope for effective and entertaining training.

The certified Lifeguard society swimming lessons focus mainly on developing five strokes: front crawl, back crawl, breast stroke, elementary backstroke, and sidestroke. promotes fitness and endurance, and gives swimmers lifelong skills to safely enjoy other aquatic pursuits.

The summer is split up into two sessions of four weeks, giving the child the chance to move up into a higher level half way through the summer. After each four week session, there are report cards for the children highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement. Due to our large number of members, we cannot guarantee that you will get your first pick of time, but every effort will be made to accommodate as many members as possible.

Senneville Pool is proud to offer a swim team that combines fun and the spirit of competition.

There are five different age categories; 6 and under, 8 and under, 9&10s, 11&12s and 13&14s. 

Every Wednesday night, there are friendly competitions between two pools in A.L.P.S. Each competition consists of all four strokes and a freestyle relay, with five different age groups.
