Pre-School & Learn To Swim Lessons We will not be offering Pre-school and Learn to Swim lessons. The YMCA has an excellent program that they will be offering at the same time as our lifesaving and lifeguard club programs so that families can still have everyone registered at the same time. Our coaches will be doing most, if not all, of the instruction of the swim lessons as well so that you can continue to rely on the Sask-Rescue expertise. We strongly encourage everyone who enjoyed our swim lessons last year to register with the YMCA swim program. It is a excellent program that will be directly connected to the Sask-Rescue club and coaches.
Please contact the Saskatoon YMCA at 652-7515 or go to their website at http://www.ymcasaskatoon.org/acquatics.htm for more information.
