Learn to Swim Lessons

Swimming is a life-saving skill.
The City of Vaughan offers learn to swim lessons based on the Lifesaving Society's Swim for Life program. Refer to our additional Resources below for more details. Click here for pool locations and amenities.
Registration for fall swim lessons opens at 8:30am on Thursday, August 25 at vaughan.perfectmind.com. We recommend using Google Chrome for best results. Watch our tutorial videos on the recvaughan YouTube channel to find out more about our online registration system.

For more information, view our Pool Guidelines & Safety Standards or refer to our Swimming Lessons: Frequently Asked Questions.

Questions about swim lessons? Email swim@vaughan.ca. If you require assistance registering, email RecCSD@vaughan.ca.
Semi-private (1-on-2) lessons: Register one participant in a 1-on-1 swim time at vaughan.perfectmind.com. Once your registration is confirmed, email swim@vaughan.ca to coordinate registration of the second participant.

Special needs lessons: Parents/guardians are required to complete a Special Needs Information Form and provide proof of their child’s disability or a doctor’s certificate that their child has a disability and one-on-one swimming is recommended. Participants are required to provide their own support worker or guardian if a volunteer is not available. For more information email specialneeds@vaughan.ca.

Shared pool space: City of Vaughan swimming pools operate in accordance with Ontario Health Act for Public Pool Regulations, which allow for different aquatic activities to run in the pool at the same time. Therefore, recreational/length swimming, aquafitness, swim lessons and/or aquatic leadership courses may, at times, run simultaneously.
Not sure which level to register for? Parents/guardians who are unsure what level to register their child in can get a free assessment from a City of Vaughan lifeguard during any recreational swim. Regular admission policies apply. Visit our Recreational Swimming & Aquafitness webpage for schedules and fees.
