Swimmer 7 - Rookie 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. Rookie Patrol is for swimmers aged 9-12 years.

Stroke Development

Swimmers continue stroke development with 50 m swims of front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. Fitness improves in 350 m workouts and 100 m timed swims.

Lifesaving Sport

Lifesaving Sport skills include a 25 m obstacle swim and 15 m object carry.

First Aid

First aid focuses on assessment of conscious victims, contacting EMS and treatment for bleeding.
