Description
The Canadian Swim Patrol (CSP) is a 3-level pre-Bronze award progression that delivers “work hard/
play hard” training for skilled swimmers 8-12 years old. Canadian Swim Patrol is designed to take young swimmers beyond the learn-to-swim program and provide them with basic lifesaving skills. Candidates earn recognition for success in content modules (stickers) and for overall award achievement (badges).
The Rookie, Ranger and Star Patrol programs each have three modules to include Water Proficiency, Recognition & Rescue and First Aid. The CSP program:
• Allows for integration of the CSP into existing learn-to-swim programs (Swim for Life, Red Cross, I Can Swim and YMCA programs).
• Provides the swimming, rescue and first aid skills necessary to prepare candidates for success in the Bronze Medal programs.
• Provides programming for customers such as summer camps or schools in conjunction with school-based swimming programs.
Prerequisites
- It is recommended that candidates can demonstrate the Swim to Survive challenge.
Recognition
Performance record (electronic version acceptable), award crest or seal.
Currency
All Canadian Swim Patrol levels and the Bronze Medal Family are considered lifetime awards, meaning that they do not need to be current to take on-going training (e.g. Bronze Cross does not need to be current to take Lifesaving Instructor or NL Pool). However, if a Bronze award is used for employment (e.g. some jurisdictions use Bronze Cross holders to supervise school groups or camps), the BC & Yukon Branch recommends the award be recertified every 2 years.
