**Do not register your swimmer into Level 1 if they do not meet the requirements of being comfortable entering water, are able to fully immerse head underwater, and can work safely in a group structure, listen, and take directions from coaches. In order to run our program safely and efficiently we cannot accommodate swimmers that require one-on-one attention.
Olympic Way is a learn-to-swim program that teaches young swimmers the skills necessary to become proficient swimmers. Participants in this program learn to swim more efficiently and in less time than traditional programs. This pre-competitive program prepares swimmers for a smooth transition into our Nanaimo Riptides competitive program.
Please check the Program Details for each level before registering. Not sure what level to register your swimmer? Contact sidney@nanaimoriptides.com with your swimmer's info (eg, age, last swim class completed...)
