Laker’s News: Swimming Committee Report

ECLA will be sponsoring Red Cross Swim Kids and Pre-school swimming lessons this coming summer.

We will offer three two-week sessions of Red Cross Lessons and Preschool Swim Lessons (ages 3-4). Through the program we instruct between 175-200 students each summer.

Our program is financed primarily through registration fees plus a Community Grant Program of $1400.00 that offsets the wage for one instructor. This grant comes from the Saskatchewan Lotteries through the Lakeland Recreation Board. At this time I would like to thank the Lakeland Recreation Board for their continued support.

Anne Charles will be returning this summer as our swimming instructor. Our instructors are fully qualified through Red Cross, Royal Lifesaving and St. John’s Ambulance.

The 2011 lessons will be at the following times and locations:

Levels 1-10: Swim Kids and Pre-school Swim: Sunnyside Beach: July 19 – July 30
Levels 1-10: Swim Kids and Pre-school Swim: Bell’s Beach: Aug. 2 – Aug.13

Fees will be: Levels 1 – 6 $25.00 for 2 weeks (ages 5 & up)
Levels 7 – 10 $30.00 for 2 weeks (45 min. lessons)

Preschool Swim: Ages 3 & 4 – $25.00 for 2 weeks or $13.00 pre week.
*Younger children may attend if accompanied in the water by an adult.

*ALL CHILDREN MUST BE REGISTERED BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE SWIMMING LESSONS. Registration for all sessions will take place between 11:00am. and 1:00pm.on the Sunday prior to the beginning of each set of lessons; Murray Point at Fern’s, Sunnyside at the Mini Golf and Bell’s at the Legion. Please bring your child’s swimming report card to registration, if it is available. Those not able to attend on registration day are requested to phone and register in advance. Instructors will not take fees on the beach. In case of rain there will be dry land lessons at an alternate location near the beach, ask the instructors for this location on the first day of lessons.
