About the Program

LEARN, GROW,
COMPETE

Our swimming program runs through the Lifesaving Society’s Swim For Life curriculum β€” Canada’s leading learn-to-swim program. Children begin in the Preschool stream (ages 4–5) and progress through 10 levels in the Swim Kids stream, mastering all major swimming strokes and building water safety skills along the way.

After completing the Swim For Life program, advanced swimmers can join our lifesaving courses or try out for the Wayland Swim Club (WSC) β€” our competitive team led by Coach Liu.

Students are assessed by their instructor at the end of each term. Progression to the next level is based on skill completion for that level’s requirements.

Program Levels

TWO LEVELS.
ONE CLEAR PATH.

We keep it simple. Every swimmer starts at either Beginner or Intermediate β€” the difference is one thing: can your child swim independently?

Not sure which level?

Beginner: Your child cannot yet swim on their own. They need an instructor in the water with them to feel safe and learn.

Intermediate: Your child can already swim independently β€” even a short distance β€” and is ready to refine technique and build endurance. This includes all ability levels from basic independent swimming up through the swim patrol program.
