This Swim to Survive event is available FREE to the community through the generosity of Coastal Community Credit Union and the Lifesaving Society for BC and the Yukon.

Nanaimo White Rapids staff will be on site at Kin Pool Saturday, July 17 promoting water safety education, with live demonstrations and challenges.

Swim to Survive defines the minimum skills required to survive an unexpected fall into deep water.

Participants will learn to:

- Roll into deep water

- Tread water for 1 minute

- Swim 50 metres ​

Swim to Survive is not a swimming lesson or a replacement for them. Swim to Survive teaches just the essentials needed to survive an unexpected fall into deep water - an important first step to being safe around water. We strongly encourage parents to enroll their children in swimming lessons.

Come join us in beautiful Bowen Park in the water at Kin Pool!
