Candadian Swim Patrol
The Canadian Swim Patrol (CSP) is a three level pre-Bronze award progression that delivers “work hard/play hard” training for skilled swimmers 8-12 years old.  Candidates earn recognition for success in content modules (stickers) and for overall award achievement (badges).  The three modules in each level are Water Proficiency, Recognition & Rescue and First Aid.  The purpose of the CSP is to take young swimmers beyond the learn-to-swim program and to provide them with basic lifesaving skills.  The newly revised CSP program:is designed for skilled young swimmers who are ready to go beyond learn-to-swim. Canadian Swim Patrol training is organized in three progressive levels –

  • Rookie Patrol
  • Ranger Patrol
  • Star Patrol

  • Junior Lifeguard Club
    Kids learn attitudes and skills that could one day save a life – their life, or someone else’s.  The Junior Lifeguard Club (JLC) is designed to let kids participate in activities similar to those of real lifeguards – in a safe, fun and controlled setting.  But just as important, kids experience teamwork and a sense of belonging. They become part of a Club – the Junior Lifeguard Club.

    The Bronze Medal Awards include:
  • Bronze Star,
  • Bronze Medallion
  • Bronze Cross
  • Developing proficiency in lifesaving, resuscitation and water rescue skills, these awards are important ‘building blocks’ toward further first aid and lifeguard training.
