Swim to Survive®
Simple, straightforward and focused, the Canadian Swim to Survive Standard defines the essential minimum skills required to survive an unexpected fall into water and forms the basis for the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life swimming program.
The Swim to Survive® Standard has received international attention and significant interest from injury prevention experts in Europe, Australia and in the United States.
