Learn to Swim Program


The RDCSC board is thrilled to announce our club is the recipient of a Return to Play grant from KidSport and the Government of Alberta. This grant is to expand our Learn to Swim program to help more kids get an introduction to competitive swimming at an early age. Growing our Learn to Swim program will not only help kids learn an important life skill, it will also help expand our competitive swimming program. RDCSC would like to thank the Government of Alberta and KidSport Alberta for the opportunity to get more kids in the pool in Red Deer.

About the Group


Our Learn to Swim program I CAN SWIM is a partnership with Swimming Alberta, and supported by KIdSport and the Alberta Government.  Swimmers will learn to be SAFE, COMFORTABLE in the water as well as with the four strokes (Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breastroke and Butterfly) in a fun supportive environment.  

Our program is targeted towards swimmers aged 5 to 10.
