Transition to Lifesaving Society & Private Lesson Structure

The Devon Community Pool is introducing changes for the 2023 Pool Season! We have transitioned from Red Cross to Lifesaving Society lessons and there is a new structure for private lessons. 

Transition to Lifesaving Society's Swim for Life Program

We have transitioned from Red Cross to Lifesaving Society's Swim for Life Program. The curriculum is slightly different and group lessons are now 8 classes per session. 

Unsure of what level the participant falls under?

  • Follow the Transition Chart for Lifesaving Society Lesson Equivalencies
  • Contact the Lifesaving Society directly at 780-415-1755

Private Lesson Structure

Private lessons are designed to fit the special needs of a swimmer. It focuses on one-on-one time with the instructor to work on specific swim criteria for the participant’s specific level. Please bring the original progress card to the instructor at the start of the session so they can check off items that have been completed.

Important Private Lesson Notes:

  • Each private lesson is 30 minutes and each date must be booked individually by registering at devon.recdesk.com
  • To complete a level, typically (5) private lesson dates would be needed with demonstration of appropriate skills. 
  • For an additional cost, up to (5) participants of similar swimming skills may be registered in one private lesson.
    • If you are wanting to add another child to the lesson, select an "add-on" fee during checkout.
  • Privates may be used to complete a level the child previously attempted, which may require less classes booked.
    • To go over your child's specific needs, please contact the pool at 780-987-4616 or pool@devon.ca

Important Dates

Register for lessons at devon.recdesk.com. Pool membership registrations are open!

Program registration starts on the following dates:

  • April 17 at 9 a.m. for Devon & Parkland residents
  • April 19 at 9.a.m. for the general public
