Aquatics Leadership Academy
Guelph Recreation has a new Aquatics Leadership Academy plan for those looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in aquatic leadership or become a certified swim instructor or lifeguard. This plan allows residents of Guelph to pay a one-time fee of $300 to register for all five core aquatic leadership courses. The plan can also be used for lane swims and drop-in skill development sessions, allowing you to practice your skills and receive feedback from leadership instructors. Save over 70 per cent when you buy the plan, instead of registering individually – that’s a savings of $785!
Access to recreation for all
Everyone should have the opportunity to participate in recreation programs. In partnership with the Children’s Foundation of Guelph and Wellington, the Free to Grow program provides grants to low-income families to help children and youth under 18 participate in recreation programs.
