Please only register for one lesson set per child. If you are interested in a level that is currently full, please send an e-mail to lessons@fairfieldsswimmingclub.com with the level you would like to be enrolled in as we may be able to open up another class in that session depending on numbers. As there is no guarantee that more classes will open up during a session, it is recommended that you still register your child(ren) in a class that is currently open.

Candidates learn CPR and develop the lifesaving skills needed to be their own lifeguard. Includes a timed 400 m swim.

Prerequisite: None (Swim Patrol experience recommended.)


Bronze Medallion: teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the 4 components of water-rescue education - judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness. Rescuers learn tows and carries, and defence methods and releases in preparation for challenging rescues of increased risk involving conscious and unconscious victims of various types. Lifesavers develop stroke efficiency and endurance in a 500 m timed swim.

Bronze Medallion is recognized as the waterfront supervisory certification for Ontario's Recreational Camp Regulation 568.

Prerequisite: Minimum 13 years of age or Bronze Star certification (need not be current).


Bronze Cross: designed for lifesavers who want the challenge of more advanced training including an introduction to safe supervision in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for all advanced training programs including National Lifeguard and Instructor certification. Includes a timed 600 m swim.

Bronze Cross is recognized as an assistant lifeguard certificate in Ontario Regulation 565 governing public swimming pools.

Prerequisite: Bronze Medallion and Emergency First Aid certifications (need not be current).

Distinction: encourages a maturity of response to demanding aquatic emergency situations and is designed to develop advanced water rescue skill and knowledge, and an understanding of the principles of fitness training.

Inherent in the name of the award, lifesavers must perform every item with distinction.

Distinction is recognized as an assistant lifeguard certificate in Ontario Regulation 565 governing public swimming pools.
