Description - Parent and Tot / Swimmer 2

These levels introduce the joys of water activity while stressing parental responsibility in, on and around the water. Class length – 30 minutes.

Preschool A 
For kids 3-5 years old just starting out on their own, with little or no experience but comfortable in a class without mom or dad.

Preschool B 
Participants can comfortably move and float with assistance and put their faces in the water with eyes open and exhale in a relaxed manner.

Preschool C 
Participants can float on front and back in PFD without assistance; swim 3 m on front and back any way with an aid; and exhale under water 5 times without pause.

Preschool D 
Participants can float and move in deep water with assistance; breathe rhythmically 10 times; flutter kick while gliding on front and back 10 m, recover objects from the bottom.

Swimmer 1
These beginners will become comfortable jumping into water with and without a Personal Flotation Device. They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll work on floats, glides and kicking through the water on their front and back.

Swimmer 2
These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a Personal Flotation Device. They’ll be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, swim 10–15 m on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 9–12m).

Description - Swimmer 3-4

Swimmer 3
These junior swimmers will dive and do in-water front somersaults. Their new bag of tricks includes handstands and completion of the Canadian Swim to Survive® Standard. They’ll work on 10–15m of front crawl, back crawl and whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 25 m.

Swimmer 5
These swimmers will master shallow dives, cannonball entries, eggbeater kicks, and in-water backward somersaults. Surface dives will take them down to underwater swims. They’ll refine their front and back crawl over 50 m swims of each, and breaststroke over 15–25 m. Then they’ll pick up the pace in 25 m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50 m front or back crawl; and 4 x 10–15 m breaststroke.

Swimmer 6
These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power in head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke, and they’ll complain about the 300 m workout.

PFC Roof Replacement

In 2022 the roof at the Waterfront Pool/Fitness Centre was replaced with a new standing-seam metal roof.  This new roof is expected to last 40 years and ensure the PFC is available for people to use decades into the future.

This project was undertaken by Designed Roofing from North Bay with administrative and design support from Garland Canada.  Funding for this project was provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation through its Community Building Fund - Capital stream
