Red Cross moves out of swim lessons
PRINCE GEORGE – The Aquatic Centre is a busy place, even in the middle of the afternoon. That’s because it has been picking up some of the load while the new Canfor Leisure Pool is being built. And the new pool will be picking the swim lessons programs once it opens, as the former Four Seasons Leisure Pool had for years.
“Within the Aquatics Division within the City, we’ve been offering Red Cross swimming lessons for as long as I can remember,” explains Jim Worthington, Manager of Aquatics for the City. “Probably for fifty years we’ve been offering the ‘Learn to Swim’ Program. It’s the Gold Standard for swimming lessons throughout British Columbia.”
