Program details
Swim to Survive is a nation-wide Lifesaving Society program that provides the basic training needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.
The program is not a replacement for swimming lessons, but teaches young people additional smart behaviours to stay safe around water.
Drowning remains the second leading cause of preventable death in Canada.
