Swimming Course Descriptions

  • General Information

    Session dates: 10-weeks session from September 21 to December 6 &  9, 2025

    WAITING LIST
    If your course is full, join the waiting list. If we have enough requests for certain levels, we will try to open new groups. 
    The waiting list can be accessed directly from Bookking. By following the same process as for registration, you will be able to see "Join waiting list" if your group is already full.

  • Parent and tot (4 months to 36 months)

    If you have never taken a swimming class or for more information, please contact the aquatic team by email ( aquatiquevalcartier@sbmfc.com ) or at 418-844-5000, ext. 8080. 

    General Information

    Through structured interaction in the water between parent and child, we emphasize the importance of play to develop positive attitudes and skills around water. We offer Lifesaving Society Aqua Bon tips to keep your child safe in all aquatic environments. Certified instructors lead the learning and answer your questions.

    • Parent-Child 1-2-3 classes will be held in the small 90 degree pool.
    • Parent-Child classes are 25 minutes long
    • Since the activities and progressions are based on the child's development, you register at the appropriate level for your child's age: 4 to 12 months, 12 to 24 months or 24 to 36 months. The parent must accompany the child for all Parent and Child levels.
  • Preschool Program (3 to 6 years old)

    If you have never taken a swimming class or for more information, please contact the aquatic team by email or at 418-844-5000, ext. 8080.

    Give your child a head start on learning to swim. The Lifesaving Society's Preschool Module aims to develop an appropriate appreciation and respect for the water before they venture into deep water.

    In our basic aquatic progressions, we work to ensure that children become comfortable in the water. They have fun while learning and developing basic water skills. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Aqua Bon safety tips into all Preschool levels.

    General Information

    • Parents must be in the water for Parent-Child 1 through Preschool 3
    • To accommodate the reality of military families, the program may offer one or more Preschool 1 to 3 courses without parents in the water. Places are reserved for families where one member is, or expects to be, on extended leave for a course, exercise or deployment. Look for SP (without parent) in the table to find the course code corresponding to your level.
    •  Preschool classes are 40 minutes long
  • Preschool 1 (3 to 6 years old)

    These preschoolers will have fun learning how to get in and out of the water. We will help them jump into the water at chest height. They will try to float and slide on their stomachs and backs. They will learn to wet their face and blow bubbles underwater. 

    Must be accompanied by a parent in the water for the duration of the session.

  • Preschool 2 (3 to 6 years old)

    These preschoolers will learn to jump into the water at chest height on their own, as well as enter and exit the water wearing a personal flotation device (PFD). They will be able to submerge and exhale underwater. Using a PFD, they will slide on their stomach and back. 

    Must be accompanied by a parent in the water for the duration of the session.

  • Preschool 3 (3 to 6 years old)

    These children will attempt both a deep water jump and a side roll while wearing a PFD. They will retrieve objects from the bottom of the water at waist height. They will learn kicking and sliding on their stomach and back. 

    Must be accompanied by a parent in the water for the duration of the session.

  • Preschool 4 (5 to 6 years old)

    These more advanced preschoolers will learn to jump in and out of deeper water on their own. They will roll sideways into the water and open their eyes underwater. They will master a short distance swim (5m) with a PFD on their belly, but will also be able to glide and kick to the side. 

    The child must be able to move alone in the water without floating aids

  • Preschool 5 (5 to 6 years old)
    These children will become increasingly adventurous by performing a front roll into the water wearing a PFD. They will swim in place for 10 seconds. They will practice 5m crawl and backstroke, interval training and have fun doing the simultaneous spin kick.

Waiting list:

If you are unable to obtain availability at the desired time, please register on the waiting list. This allows us to open new groups according to demand. (Several availability on Sundays, by registering on the waiting list)
