Integrated Swimming Program (ISP)

We are proud to announce our new swimming program for the community, which will be available in the upcoming month. Our services will be provided in different languages that will encourage individuals with little knowledge of English to take part in the Canadian Red Cross swimming programs. We provide instructors with a variety of racial backgrounds that can connect well with their students. It is our goal to prevent language from being a limitation to the people in our community. Our instructors fluently speak their mother languages and will provide the best services to their students.

Another advantage of our program parallels our goal: which is to improve the English of our students as well as their physical well being. Our educated instructors will help their students reach their maximum potential in both communication and physical skills. This is achieved by having different practices and homework assignments for the students that will be done in both English and their mother language. According to the government, three different races makeup a vast majority of our newcomer’s community. The three groups are from the following countries: 1. Iran 2. China 3. Korea. There will be different levels of courses offered in these languages. Upon request, we can offer our services in other languages as well. Details about the registration and location of our programs will shortly be available on our website.

Andrea was amazing! She was very informative and entertaining, a pure natural with training. If not for her, this probably would have been a lot more boring and tiresome. I would recommend anyone in the area to attend for her alone.

Kia from Coast2Coast was an excellent instructor for our Standard First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training. He explained everything in a clear, detailed, and easy-to-understand way, making even the more complex parts of the course simple to follow. He was very patient and supportive throughout the sessions, always making sure everyone was comfortable and confident before moving on. The hands-on demonstrations were well guided, and he gave helpful feedback that made us improve our skills. We really enjoyed the whole training experience. Kia created a positive and engaging learning environment, and we left the course feeling well-prepared and confident in our first aid and CPR skills.

Thank you very much for the great First aid course. Mohamed Ezz did an incredible job. The amount of humour care and humanity put into the course was greatly appreciated. It was no way boring and I had a great time doing my first aid this time. See you in three years

My instructor was Selina Rawe and she made what I thought would be a long mundane experience, incredibly fun and interactive! She was so funny throughout the session, cracking up jokes while also delivering incredibly in depth information regarding emergency first aid and cpr. Totally recommend and I passed if you were wondering!
