Lesson Supervisor Did you know that during all lesson times there is an on-deck lesson supervisor? This person is available to answer questions, help you with any concerns and provide a link between you and the instructor (as instructors have limited time between classes). Look for the person in a blue tank top at Gordon Head or a purple staff shift at Saanich Commonwealth and we’ll be happy to assist you. REGISTER at any Saanich Recreation Centre or saanichrec.ca
Missed Lessons Due to the number of participants in the learnto-swim program, we are unable to schedule make-up lessons.
Report Cards To keep a complete record of your swimming lessons, please bring your report card to your instructor on the first day of lessons. CEDAR HILL RECREATION CENTRE 250-475-7121
