Introducing Fundy Assistant Swim Instructor!

Fundy Assistant Swim Instructor Course - December 2024

We're changing some things about Junior Lifeguard to make registration easier!

Image
Junior Lifeguard Re-Brand

To make registration and next steps more straight forward, we are rebranding the Junior Lifeguard levels! From now on, we will no longer be using the Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion or Bronze Cross names and will instead use "Junior Lifeguard Level 1", "Junior Lifeguard Level 2", and "Junior Lifeguard Level 3".

What the levels are equivelent to:

Junior Lifeguard Level 1 = Bronze Star

Junior Lifeguard Level 2 = Bronze Medallion

Junior Lifeguard Level 3 = Bronze Cross

Does this affect the course, or course content in any way?

Not at all! Candidates will still receieve all of the same great information through the exact same courses. The only change will be the transition to the easier to follow progression of levels.

Will this affect their certification mail out?

This will NOT affect the certification your swimmer recieves from the Lifesaving Society. Swimmers will still received certification cards for Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross in the mail.

Does this change fees?

No! Fees for the each of the Junior Lifeguard levels will remain exactly the same as they always have been at only $69.85 (tax-in) per swimmer.

How St. Stephen Aquatics Compares to the Rest of New Brunswick...

Image
2023 St. Stephen Aquatics Stats

We are excited to share the 2023 statistics compiled by the Lifesaving Society of New Brunswick! 2023 saw a significant increase in aquatic programming and registration across the province, and St. Stephen was no exception! When compared to 2022, the St. Stephen Aquatics & Programming Dept. saw a significant jump across the board in its standing with the New Brunswick Lifesaving Society's program participation.

So far in 2024, we are already on pace to well surpass the programming achievements of 2023, and we plan to continue to grow our presence in the province beyond this.

Thank you to all of the fantastic staff members and course participants who have helped us to grow our programming so much. We look forward to continuing to build up the aquatic programming and opportunities available in our community for years to come!

You can find more information on provincial rankings on the Lifesaving Society's website at this link: /https://www.lifesavingnb.ca/.../nbannualreport2023...

The Home of Fundy Water Safety

The St. Stephen Aquatics Department is home to all Fundy Water Safety aquatic programming! Proudly developed by our own instructors, supervisors and management, Fundy Water Safety was developed to replace the now defunct Red Cross aquatic programming. We developed Fundy Water Safety through 2021 and 2022 to address the lack of high quality swimming lessons, and swim instructor courses available. 

 

Why Fundy Water Safety? Our program teaches more strokes & skills than any other widely available program and teaches them over a more comprehensive range of swim levels, to a higher standard than any other aquatic programming. Our goal is to provide high quality instruction from well trained Fundy Tots and Fundy Swim Instructors. We hope to inspire a life long love of swimming in all of our swimmers and in our community through our Funday Water Safety programming. Fundy Water Safety and the Municipal District of St. Stephen Aquatics Department believe that no swimmer should be left behind, whether they swim competitively, learn to save a life, or swim just for the love of swimming, we hope to set you and everyone else up for success in the water! Want to know more about Fundy Water Safety and/or the Municipal District of St. Stephen Aquatics Department? Call 467-3030 x120, text 467-7446 or email aquatics@chocolatetown.ca, we would love to hear from you!
