Preschool Programs

Lifesaving Society Preschool Lessons are for children ages 3 to 6 years old. Once the child is three years old, the levels become evaluation-based for them to continue to advance, meaning the swimmers need to meet the standards of each skill in the level before moving onto the next Preschool level.

All Preschool classes will run for 30 minutes

General lesson information

Review the following information prior to beginning swimming lessons with the Town of Orangeville.

First day

Before the first class, please inform the instructor if your child is repeating the level.

Meeting spot

Classes will meet in the same location each week. Please wait with young children at the designated meeting area. Signs are posted around the pool to indicate where instructors will meet their students.

Bathing/Swimming attire

Bathing/swimming attire is defined as clothing that is clean and used specifically for the purpose of swimming, at the facility’s discretion. Children who are not toilet trained must wear a waterproof pant (e.g.: Little Swimmers®) under their bathing suit.

Lesson viewing

We ask that you watch from the pool viewing areas while your child is in lessons. Please do not leave the facility.  

Missed classes

Make-up classes and refunds are not available to students who miss a class. Credits can be requested in writing for absences due to medical reasons. If the Town cancels a class for unforeseen circumstances a class credit will be added to your family account.

Instructor requests

Contact us to make instructor requests after you have registered your child in a swimming program. We will do our best to accommodate instructor requests, but we cannot guarantee that requests will be granted.

Low enrolment

Programs not meeting registration requirements may be cancelled at any time. Programs may also be combined to meet the program enrolment minimums.

Swimming assessments

We can help you find the best fit for your child's swimming level. Please call Aquatics at 519-940-9092 ext. 4110 to schedule your assessment. Assessments are completed by our instructors during swimming lessons and public swims.

The instructor will recommend the best level based on your child's current ability. If you did not participate in lessons in a previous session, we recommend receiving an assessment or registering back into the level that was previously taken

Questions or comments during lessons

There is a designated on-deck instructor who is available to answer questions. This instructor is a lesson expert and can solve most problems quickly. Do not hesitate to speak to one of these staff members at any time during your lessons. Please do not wait until the last class.
