👏🏊 Great job, staff and kiddos! Thank you to the Optimist Club for supporting and the Halton Public and Catholic schools who participated in SWIM TO SURVIVE this year. Nearly 500 Grade 3 students participated in Swim to Survive this year in Halton Hills, teaching fundamental water safety that could save a life this summer.

We encourage everyone, passed or not, to register for swimming lessons to stay safe and have FUN in the water. We have spots still open this summer!

Fun fact: in Ontario, you can fish without a license on #FathersDay. If you're celebrating dad out on the water today, be sure to wear a lifejacket and stay sober.

Learning to swim involves the development of skills. If your child does not complete a level, it does not mean that they have not progressed, it just means that they need more time and practice to master the skills. Everyone learns at their own pace!

[LifesavingSociety ON @LifesavingON]

We're working hard to finalize our new e-learning platform and the First Aid Update Course. If you're a First Aid Instructor, Examiner or Trainer, keep your eyes on your email for launch info coming soon. For registration information and course details: https://t.co/TIzevXwC3o
