Summer is a great time to take advantage of the available openings in the City’s swimming certification programs. Completing an aquatic certification program is also a major personal achievement for a young person. And that foot in the pool can lead to a foot in the door for employment opportunities at the City of Ottawa.
Certification registration for the summer is now open and the courses include bronze star, bronze medallion, bronze cross, first aid, and national lifeguard courses. All courses have been COVID-19 modified to meet current restrictions.
These certifications have developed the talented youth who have helped you and family members acquire essential swimming skills and supervised your pool activities over the years. Now is the time to encourage young people you know to either continue with or start to develop lifesaving and leadership skills which provides valuable experience in decision-making, water safety management and handling responsibility.
