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!
