Provided by the Lifesaving Society of Canada, Swim to Survive teaches young swimmers just the essentials needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water - an important first step to being safe around water.
The Lifesaving Society aims to have every Grade 3 student in Ontario achieve the Swim to Survive Standard. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, students have not be able to travel and many are missing out on this ESSENTIAL training.
The minimum skills needed include:
Research shows that most drownings occur close to safety. If every child in Canada could pass the Swim to Survive standard, it could reduce the number of drownings by half.
This program is NOT a substitute for enrolling in lessons. We strongly encourage children to enroll in swimming lessons as well.
