Preschool
The Preschool levels help children from 3 to 5 years of age gradually develop comfort, confidence and their first aquatic skills in a fun and safe environment. Through play and developmentally appropriate activities, children learn to enter the water, submerge, float, glide and move through the water with increasing independence. The Lifesaving Society’s Aqua Bon safety tips are incorporated into each level to encourage safe behaviours around, on and in the water from an early age. Preschool 1 …

The Ladder Approach
  When someone is in distress in the water, the first instinct may be to rush in to help. However, entering the water can also put the rescuer at risk.

The principle is simple: start with the safest rescue method and gradually increase the level of intervention only when necessary. How does the ladder approach work? The approach includes several possible …
