About
City of Richmond Swim Lessons and Lifeguard Programs offers swim lessons, adapted swim, and lifeguard programs. The program uses the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program for lessons, following a transition from the Canadian Red Cross Swim Kids program that took effect on January 1, 2023. The Swim Lesson Transition Chart shows which Swim for Life level swimmers move into based on their current or previous Swim Kids level.
