What are the Swim for Life levels?

Swim for Life is the Lifesaving Society's complete learn-to-swim program, from Parent & Tot through to Swim Instructor. It focuses on learning to swim and Water Smart education. There are five modules:

1. Parent & Tot (3 levels): parents and children up to 3 years of age.
2. Preschool (5 levels): children 3 to 5 years.
3. Swimmer (6 levels): children 5 years and older.
4. Adult Swimmer (3 levels): people over 16 years.
5. Fitness Swimmer: swimmers of any age who want to improve their physical fitness.

There is no prerequisite for any module. Swim for Life is offered by Affiliate Members that hold a Swim for Life licence. The levels and details here come from the Lifesaving Society Ontario's July 2026 program guide; the national site lists the same five modules.
