The Canadian Swim Patrol provides enriched training for those who are ready to go beyond learn-to-swim with three levels – Rookie, Ranger, and Star.

Swimmer 9 - Star Patrol

The Canadian Swim Patrol program is the on-ramp to lifeguarding. Swim Patrol’s three levels – Rookie, Ranger, and Star – continue to develop participants’ swim strokes and provide the skill foundation that prepares them for success in the Society’s Bronze medal awards. Star Patrol is for swimmers aged 9–12 years old.

Stroke Development

Swimmers are challenged with 600 m workouts, 300 m timed swims and a 25 m object carry. Strokes are refined over 100 m swims.

Lifesaving Sport

Lifesaving skills include defence methods, victim removals and rolling over and supporting a victim face up in shallow water.

First Aid

First aid focuses on treatment of bone or joint injuries and respiratory emergencies including asthma and allergic reactions.

Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.* 

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
