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.

Testimonials!
As someone whose first language is not English, I sometimes found it difficult to fully understand some of the technical terms and hands-on instructions. However, Hosam was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire course. He took extra time to explain things clearly and made sure I understood each step. His friendly attitude really made me feel more confident and comfortable.
I truly appreciate his dedication to teaching and highly recommend him as an instructor — especially for anyone who may feel nervous or unsure. Thank you again!
the future, I learned a lot from him His name is Scott thank you for him and for the Red Cross in Etobicoke I appreciate it .
One challenge I encountered was accessing the building; I was accidentally locked out on two occasions, which caused some inconvenience. Improving entry instructions or access support could enhance the overall experience.
Despite that, I truly appreciated the quality of instruction and the collaborative atmosphere. I would recommend the course to others seeking a dynamic and immersive learning experience.
I would like to sincerely thank Coast2Coast for the amazing First Aid and CPR course I completed on July 5, 2025. The course was well-organized and very informative.
A special thanks to Mr. Joseph, our instructor, who was very talented, clear, and easy to understand. He made both the theory and practical parts of the training very engaging.
The training hall was clean, spacious, and comfortable—not hot at all despite the size—which helped us focus and enjoy the session fully.
I truly learned a lot and feel more confident now in emergency situations. I’m excited to share this experience with my family and friends and encourage them to take this important course.
