Participants must be 11 to 15 years of age or have completed grade 5. Tentative cost is $50 and includes your ARC book and whistle. This program will only be offered upon demand once a minimum of 6 is obtained.

Participants interested in becoming a Swim Lesson Instructor will want to take the ARC Water Safety Instructor Aid class which will prepare them for the next level and give them the skills to become a Water Safety Instructor (WSI).
