Halton Hills Lifeguard Club - Spring 2024
HHLC is a special type of swimming lesson for a special type of swimmer!
- Does your child thrive on competition and love new challenges?
- Is your child growing bored of traditional swimming lessons?
- Does your child want to be part of a team and train with a coach?
- Does your child dream of being a lifeguard one day?
HHLC introduces young swimmers to ‘lifesaving sport’. They will improve stroke technique and endurance while incorporating increasingly complex aquatic skills. HHLC also promotes a healthy attitude towards competition – swimmers focus on achieving personal best times and improving their technique in a supportive, positive environment.
HHLC format and progress
First time HHLC swimmers should register in Beginner. In order to participate, swimmers must have completed Swimmer 3 and be comfortable in deep water. After Beginner, swimmers will progress through Intermediate, Advanced, and Development based on Coach recommendations reflected on progress reports.
If you have questions about which level would be the best fit for you, please email our Recreation Coordinator of Aquatics.
