SUMMARY:Learn to Swim Level 1
DESCRIPTION:Swimming is not only a great way to stay healthy and fit—it’s also a vital life skill\, especially in a place like Kamloops\, home to over 100 lakes and rivers just an hour’s drive away. \nMany students at TRU want to enjoy these outdoor water activities—but not everyone knows how to swim. That’s why the TRUSU Services Committee has partnered with the Canada Games Aquatic Centre to offer Learn-to-Swim lessons exclusively for TRU students! \nSession Outline:\nThe February Learn-to-Swim Session will be a 5-weeks long (10-lessons) program and will cover the basics of swimming and pool safety protocols. The program starts on February 10th and runs until March 12th in the Canada Games Aquatic Centre within the Tournament Capital Centre. \nRegistration Options\nThere are two cohorts available to students with a max capacity of 6 participants in each cohort. Each participant can register in one cohort only. Complete schedule for each cohort is listed below. \n\n\n\n\nCohort 1: 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM \n\n\nCohort 2: 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 10\, 2026 \n\n\nTuesday\, February 10\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 12\, 2026 \n\n\nThursday\, February 12\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026 \n\n\nTuesday\, February 17\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026 \n\n\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 24\, 2026 \n\n\nTuesday\, February 24\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026 \n\n\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 03\, 2026 \n\n\nTuesday\, March 03\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 05\, 2026 \n\n\nThursday\, March 05\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 10\, 2026 \n\n\nTuesday\, March 10\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026 \n\n\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nNote that participants need to attend all 8 lessons to have a complete Learn to Swim experience. Please do not register if you cannot attend all the lessons as deposits are non-refundable. \nRegistration and Fees:\nRegistration can be completed below. There is a $50 deposit per participant and spots are available on a first-come-first serve basis. Students who attend all 10 lessons will get a full refund of their deposit at the end of the program. Any student who misses the first lesson\, will lose their spot\, and it will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. No refunds will be provided. \nRegistration closes when both cohorts have reached their maximum capacity. Participants are responsible for arranging their own swimming gear. Strictly no refunds if a participant does not or is unable to attend. \nSo don’t miss your chance and register today.
