Swimmer 8 and 9 (Ranger and Star)

About this program

This is a combined level where swimmers will continue to develop skills and endurance to enhance their capability in the water. Strokes continue to be refined and swimmers will be challenged with a 300 m timed swim, 600 m workout and a 25 m object carry. Lifesaving skills include lifesaving stroke medley, use of rescue aids, defense methods, victim removals and supporting a victim in shallow water. First aid focuses on unconscious victims, obstructed airway procedures, treatment of bone or joint injuries and respiratory emergencies. This level is recommended for those that have completed Swimmer 7, 8. NOTE: Participants cannot be registered for more than one set of lessons at a time and must successfully complete the prerequisite level before registering for the next level. If less than 5 days notice is given, registration fees, less a 10% cancellation fee, will be refunded; registration fees are non-refundable once the program has started.
