Leadership Courses

The Lifesaving Society is the organization that certifies all Lifesavers and Lifeguards in Saskatchewan. Swimming Lessons @yourtownhere is a Lifesaving Society Affiliate. We will travel to your community to teach Lifesaving Society leadership courses in order to help you train more lifeguards and keep small town community pools operating. These courses can be offered at any 25 meter public swimming pool. The courses all run during regular scheduled pool programming so no pool closure is necessary.
