Swim lessons and aquatic leadership programs
The fall schedule for swim lessons and aquatic leadership courses at Zancor Centre is now online at king.ca/aquatics. The facility offers learn-to-swim lessons for all ages, based on the Ontario Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program, which features programming for parent and tots, preschoolers, children, teens and adults. Private lessons are available for children ages three and above, except for those registered in Swimmer 7 to 12 as group work is required in those levels. Aquatic leadership programs to train youth for employment as a swim instructor or lifeguard are also available.
Swim Assessments
Looking to register your child for swim lessons but unsure what level would be the best fit? Sign them up for a 15-minute swim assessment ($4) where a swim instructor will guide your child through a series of in-water skills and provide you with a recommendation on the most appropriate swimming level to register your child. For more information visit king.ca/aquatics.
Need one-on-one support? The Township’s Inclusion Membership is a free program designed to make it easier for individuals and families living with a disability to access one‑to‑one inclusion support in recreation and aquatic programs. Learn more at king.ca/inclusion.
