New swimming lesson
program
We’ve officially unveiled our new swimming lesson program – Swim City! Check out the new lesson names and designs.
The new program will start in January 2023 and will replace the
outgoing Red Cross program. It has a refreshed curriculum and branding
that is unique to Ottawa with the colours, creatures and names chosen
through a contest which ran in June and received 1000 submissions! The
pre-school levels reflect the culture and heritage of the Anishinabe
Algonquin Nation. Each Participant will
receive a map to track their progression and can collect stickers as
they pass each level.
