Swimming Programs




Our lifeguards are fully certified and supervise our beach from 9 am until 5pm Monday to Friday and from noon until 5 on the weekends. There will be also guards on duty during family events in the evenings.

Our swim lessons are on a first-come, first served basis. We offer the Red Cross Swim Levels

Red Cross Swim Preschool

  • A fun preschool program that prepares kids for the next step - our Kids program.
  • 7 Levels with flexible entry and exit points – children enter levels based on age and then progress based on either age or ability.
  • Colourful, fun mascots that are used on stickers and progress booklets were created specifically for preschoolers.
  • 7 levels increase opportunity for parents and their children to take swimming and water safety lessons at an earlier age – babies as young as 4 months old may be enrolled.
  • Flexible program that allows pools to offer parented and/or unparented levels.

Red Cross Swim Kids

  • 10 Level program fits with today's swimmers; kids can get through all levels and feel proud of their achievement.
  • Swimming and Water Safety skills are taught in the water so kids are always active and wet – promotes success and encourages lifelong fitness.
  • New focus on individual achievement creates a cycle of success that is geared to kids.

Another popular program run by our swimming staff is the swim team. They train at Dartmouth Sportsplex Mon.-Thurs morning during the summer. Every summer the team competes in  local meets as well as takes part in the provincial championships. During the winter, we have a swimming program that takes place on Sunday night at the Sportsplex.
