Earlier this year the Canadian Red Cross announced it is winding down its swim and lifeguard program- ming to direct more attention to surging humanitarian demands in other areas. Due to this change, starting in Summer 2023 the Courtenay Outdoor Memorial Pool’s swim lessons will transition to the Swim for life model with the Lifesaving Society of Canada. If you would like more information on what the transition looks like for you, please visit https://www.lifesaving.bc.ca/swim-transition
