TVCC clients and their siblings of all ages, along with their parents/caregivers.
What to Expect
Join us at the TVCC Therapy Pool for Family Swim! Grab your suit and join other TVCC families for a dip on any of these available dates.
Parents or caregivers are responsible for directly supporting, and supervising their child’s participation during the swim, on deck and in change room. For this swim program, parents/caregivers MUST accompany their child in the water and be within arms reach at all times, even if they are wearing a floatation device.
Parents/caregivers must be comfortable moving through chest-deep water (1.2m), understand how to be safe in the pool, and be able to respond to the needs of their swimmer (responsible adult). If this does not describe the parent/caregivers comfort in water, please contact tr [at] tvcc.on.ca (tr[at]tvcc[dot]on[dot]ca) for alternate pool programs.
To help keep everyone safe in the pool, families are asked to follow these supervision guidelines: one responsible adult may supervise up to two non-swimmers. The responsible adult must be a confident and comfortable swimmer and able to safely support the children in their care. Adults must remain within arm’s reach of non-swimmers at all times.
Safety is a priority in this program. Families are encouraged to bring their own flotation devices if required. If a family anticipates needing to use a TVCC-provided flotation device, this must be indicated in the registration questions to ensure availability. A limited number of flotation devices are available on-site.
