SHARKS PROGRAM

For some of these kids, it is their first time touching water outside of a bathtub and so, the program also teaches water safety awareness to new swimmers, as well as gives them time to play and become comfortable in the water.
The SHARKs program teaches the Lifesaving Society's "Swim to Survive" curriculum of surviving a sudden and unexpected fall into deep water. With SHARKs training, the children of Guelph learn how to:
· recover from a fall into the water
· tread water until rescuers arrive
· swim to safety
The Rotary Club of Guelph has long sponsored this amazing program for local children, and is proud that one of the program's original advocates was Rotarian Ken Hamill. Read more about Ken here.
