What do you do when your child turns six?

Regardless of which Preschool level your child completes, once a child turns 6 years old, they will start Swimmer levels.

Please Note: BWG's Learn to Swim Programs may differ from programs in other municipalities. Barrie and Newmarket have chosen to customize the Lifesaving Learn to Swim program. All other municipalities (Aurora, Richmond Hill, Markham, Stouffville, Vaughan etc.) use the standard program like Bradford West Gwillimbury.
