Build water confidence, stay safe and keep active
Even the most experienced swimmers benefit from staying up to date with modern water safety skills. As our bodies and health change over time, it’s important to understand how those changes can affect your safety. Knowing how to stay calm, float, or assist someone in trouble could save your life—or someone else’s.
Aqua Skills 55+ is a free, fun, and friendly water safety and swimming refresher course designed specifically for adults aged 55 and over. Whether you’re returning to the water after some time away or just want to feel more confident and capable in aquatic environments, this 4-week program is the perfect way to boost your skills and knowledge in a relaxed and supportive setting.
