We’re committed to tracking and celebrating your progress. Each program provides five clear goals and you progress at your own pace. These goals guide our lessons and ensure you get instruction that fits your unique skills and learning style.
You join a small group and receive individual attention and tailored instruction. Water acclimation and water survival programs have a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, with stroke development programs maintaining a 6:1 student-to-instructor ratio.
Our step-by-step program focuses on water acclimation, survival skills, and stroke development. The familiar format of each lesson offers comfort and consistency as you progress through our levels, making each transition smooth and seamless.
Swimmers can start as early as 3 months old—because it’s never too soon to learn water safety. There’s no age limit, so whether you’re learning as a toddler, teenager, or anywhere in between, we have a program to help you become a safer swimmer.
Forest Heights in Kitchener, Ontario, is a welcoming neighborhood that feels just right for families. With its friendly community vibe, affordable cost of living, and convenient access to well-rated schools like Forest Heights Collegiate Institute, it’s easy to see why so many families settle here. The area is calm, with plenty of green spaces and walkable trails, making it ideal for parents looking to raise children in a safe and active environment. And thanks to Kitchener’s growing job market, especially in tech and manufacturing, Forest Heights also offers great opportunities for working parents.
There’s always something fun to do with the kids. Huron Natural Area is a favorite spot where families can explore trails and let the kids climb and play on the natural playground. The Forest Heights Community Centre keeps us busy year-round with arts, crafts, and recreation programs. Local spots like THEMUSEUM and the Kitchener Public Library’s Forest Heights branch offer hands-on activities and storytimes that our little ones love. And if you’re up for a little history and adventure, the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum and Doon Heritage Village are just around the corner.
When it’s time to cool off or enjoy some water fun, Forest Heights has plenty to offer. The Forest Heights Pool is perfect for families, with warm water and plenty of open swim times. On sunny days, we love heading over to the Kiwanis Park Pool, which is big and shallow enough for even the youngest swimmers to splash safely. For more low-key water play, there are several local splash pads, like the ones at Victoria Park and McLennan Park, that keep the kids happy and active. Whether you’re relaxing poolside or running through sprinklers, there’s always a way to enjoy the water here.
