Pool Programs

The Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre offers a variety of swim lessons, fitness programs and certification classes.

2025 Summer Swim Lessons Flyer

Register for lessons

  • Online at www.dawsoncreek.ca/register
  • By phone at 250-782-7946

View more information about available swim levels, or contact the Kenn Borek Aquatic Centre at 250-782-7946 if you don't know which level to register your child in.

 

Certification Classes

Learn about the many certification classes we offer such as:

  • First Aid
  • Lifeguard Training
  • Swim Instructor Training

Drop-In Waterfit

Drop-in Waterfit is great exercise. Using built-in resistance from the water, it allows you to tone and strengthen your muscles. It also provides a good cardio workout without the added pressure on your joints. It's good for all fitness levels and is flexible enough that you can increase or decrease the intensity as you prefer. Floatation belts are provided for deep water classes.

View the Drop-in Waterfit schedule through our Recreation Portal.

Swim Lessons

We now offer swim lessons through the Lifesaving Society's “Swim for Life” Program. If you're not sure what level your child should be in, refer to our Swim Lesson Progression chart for information or give us a call at 250-782-7946. 

 

Preschool Swim Lessons (Age 3-5)

Preschool lessons are designed to ensure children become comfortable in the water and develop a foundation of water skills. The five levels in order are: Octopus, Crab, Orca, Sea Lion, Narwhal. 

View upcoming Preschool Swim Lessons through our Recreation Portal.

 

Youth Swim Lessons (Age 6+)

Children ages six and older will register in one of the Swimmer levels, where they learn to become comfortable in the water and develop a foundation of water skills. There are six levels in total. 

View upcoming Youth Swim Lessons through our Recreation Portal.

Private Swim Lessons (Age 3+)

Register for private lessons if you need extra assistance on specific skills and feel you would benefit from one-on-one instruction. Each lesson is 30 minutes long. There can be a maximum of two people per lesson, as long as they are close in skill level. View upcoming Private Swim Lessons through our Recreation Portal.
