Who teaches and assesses my child in Swim for Life?

Current Lifesaving Society Swim Instructors teach and certify all Swim for Life levels, and a Lifesaving Swim Instructor evaluates all items. Instructors use the Swim for Life Award Guide and Teaching Swim for Life. The program is delivered in person only.

Swim for Life content is organized as entries and exits, movement and swimming skills, surface support, fitness, underwater skills, Water Smart education and Swim to Survive skills.
