The Canadian Swim Patrol program is the on-ramp to lifeguarding. Ability is the only prerequisite.
The Swim Patrol provides enriched training for those who are on the brink of going beyond the learn-to-swim and provide them with basic lifesaving skills. Swim Patrol's three levels - Rookie, Ranger, and Star - continue to develop participants' swim strokes and provide the skill foundation that prepares them for success in the Society's Bronze medal awards. Candidates will learn the important skills of Water Proficiency, Recognition & Rescue and First Aid.
