at-a-glance
Spend quality time with your child
while you both have fun and learn and socialize. Through structured
in-water interaction between parent and child, we stress the
importance of play in developing water-positive attitudes and
skills. We provide Lifesaving Society Water Smart® tips on keeping your child safe in any
aquatic setting. Certified instructors provide guidance and answers
to your questions.
We've organized the content of each
level like this:
- Entries and exits
- Surface support
- Underwater skills
- Swim to Survive® skills
- Movement / Swimming skills
- Fitness

As an integral part of the Swim for Life® Program, Water Smart education provides
information and experiences that helps participants make smart
decisions when in, on and around water and ice.
Because activities and progressions
are based on child development, parents register in the level
appropriate for their child's age.
