Swim to Survive The majority of people who drown had no intention of going into the water. For swimmers and non-swimmers alike, immersion is sudden, unexpected and often silent. For this reason, the Lifesaving Society believes that in Canada's water rich environment, minimum swimming ability is a required life skill for survival.
Through Swim to Survive (S2S), the Society gives everyone the opportunity to learn how to protect themselves. Like fire safety and bike safety, everyone deserves to learn the life skills that Swim to Survive provides…the skills necessary to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.

The Junior Lifeguard Club is a unique program, which is geared to a ‘coaching’ environment of long-term goals and short-term ‘personal best’ achievements. The JLC features a Waterlog & Timetracker that records swimmer achievements. These accomplishments and challenges are recognized with seals. The LS Coach Level 1 program supports the JLC. The target ages are 8 – 15 years.
