Implementation Help

The Lifesaving Society believes that in Canada's water rich environment, minimum swimming ability is a required life skill for survival. Learning to swim is the most immediate and effective way to prevent drowning and water-related injury.

Simple, straight forward 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 Swim Program - Swim for Life™.

The Swim to Survive Standard has received international attention and significant interest from injury prevention experts in Europe, Australia and in the USA.
