PLAY Parkland, Physical Literacy and You was developed to strengthen community ties between local school divisions and community recreation while enhancing the physical literacy experience for students. Each year, we strive to create a positive and welcoming space for children to be active and develop their skills. Our program provides high-quality experiences in four activity environments: air (gymnastics), land (multisport), water (swimming), and ice (skating). We focus on using movement to build social and emotional connections with peers, boost students’ confidence, and motivate them to stay active for life.

Program Details:

A program consists of six to eight sessions. 
Each session includes two 45-minute activities with a 15-minute transition period.

The TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre offers the Lifesaving Society’s "Swim For Life" swim program Swim @ School. 

This quality program offers a unique opportunity for fitness in the pool setting, focusing on developing swimming and water safety skills. Swim @ School is flexible enough that the whole class can participate, no matter the student’s swimming ability or level. 

Who can participate in Swim @ School?

Everyone can participate and have fun. The program is designed to allow an entire class to participate with various levels of ability while encouraging students to achieve their own personal best.

What material is covered in Swim @ School?

The Lifesaving Society’s "Swim For Life" @ School program is specifically designed for schools. It is a participation program.

The Swim @ School program consists of three levels:

• Beginner
• Intermediate
• Advanced

Each child will learn a variety of swimming and safety skills geared for their level of swimming and will be evaluated based on their participation. 

What do the candidates receive when they complete a session of Swim@School?

All students who participate in this program will receive a certificate.  The instructor of the group will check off the items that each candidate participates in.

This is not a program that teaches specific Swimmer levels, but rather a skill and stroke improvement program. 

This program is designed to allow everyone to participate in swimming despite the range of levels of swimming ability and still encourages students to achieve their own personal best. This program is to supplement a regular Lifesaving Society’s "Swim For Life" swim lesson and is closer to an overview and skill improvement, and is not the same as the Swimmer program.

The TransAlta Tri Leisure Centre is proud to offer the Lifesaving Society’s "Swim For Life" Swim @ School program to the schools in and around our community.
