Registration

  • Membership information and payments must be completed to register for lessons
  • All waivers must be completed and signed by the parent or legal guardian of the non-member child. All children under the age of TEN years must be accompanied a parent or guardian (14+).

    Non-member lessons do not allow the child to swim except during their scheduled lesson.

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.

The Canadian Swim Patrol program is the on-ramp to lifeguarding. Ability is the only prerequisite.

The Swim Patrol provides enriched training for those who are ready to go beyond learn-to-swim. Swim Patrol's three levels - Rookie, Ranger, and Star - continue to develop participants' swim strokes and provide the skill foundation that prepares them for success in the Society's Bronze medal awards.

Rookie Patrol: Swimmers continue stroke development with 50 m swims of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. Lifesaving Sport skills include a 25 m obstacle swim and 15 m object carry. First aid focuses on assessment of conscious victims, contacting EMS and treatment for bleeding. Fitness improves in 350 m workouts and 100 m timed swims.

Ranger Patrol: Swimmers develop better strokes over 75 m swims of each stroke. They tackle Lifesaving Sport skills in a lifesaving medley, timed object support and rescue with a buoyant aid. First aid focuses on assessment of unconscious victims, treatment of victims in shock and obstructed airway procedures. Skill drills develop a strong lifesaving foundation.

Star Patrol: Swimmers are challenged with 600 m workouts, 300 m timed swims and a 25 m object carry. Strokes are refined over 100 m swims. First aid focuses on treatment of bone or joint injuries and respiratory emergencies including asthma and allergic reactions. Lifesaving skills include defence methods, victim removals and rolling over and supporting a victim face up in shallow water.

Class Length: 45 min.

Dates: Monday through Friday for 2 weeks.  There are no lessons on statutory holidays.
