Coquitlam Aquatics Update Transition to Lifesaving Society Did you hear? Earlier this year, the Canadian Red Cross announced that it’s winding down swimming and lifeguarding programs to focus on surging humanitarian demands.
As a result, we’re transitioning from the Canadian Red Cross Swim Kids program to the Lifesaving Society’s Swim for Life program for winter 2023 lessons. This transition will not affect fall 2022 swimming lessons.
