It’s hard to know where your child fits into the lesson formats. We are happy to offer free lesson assessments through our lifeguard team at the Pool. Give us a call or email info@passpool.ca to set up an assessment.
Our aim is to have the same instructor throughout the lesson sessions, but despite our best intentions, things happen! What we do know is that our team will do the best they can to ensure continuity if there is an instructor change.
Whether you are 18 months old or 80, there are lessons available for you! Adult lessons are available upon request. Please reach out to our Pool Programmer at poolprogrammer@crowsnestpass.com or stop by and we can figure out an option to help you with your swimming needs.
Lessons are taught using the Lifesaving Society “Swim for Life” framework. Each level is broken down by certain skills to be completed within the timeline. Lessons are scheduled for 30 minutes, for 5 days to allow the students to gain some time working on their skills. Some students may struggle with the timeframe while others may complete the skills to a satisfactory level faster. Each individual swimmer is unique and our team will work with them to achieve their goals!
