ZODIAC SWIMMING PROGRAM

For all campers aged 2.5 to 12.5
(Finished Pre-Nursery through Grade 6)

Under the direction of Ellen and Rick Howard, Zodiac Swim School has established itself as one of the leading swim schools in Canada since 1978. Thousands of children and adults have successfully learned to swim and love the water in Zodiac’s low-ratio, high-quality programs, doing so in a uniquely challenging, fun and nurturing environment at one of Zodiac’s convenient locations, which equally stresses development of swimming skills, self-esteem, confidence and trust.

Zodiac’s effective and individualized approach to teaching swimming is an integral component of Zodiac Day Camp. Zodiac Swim School-calibre swimming is a central and major focus for every camper. Daily swim instruction during Sessions 1, 2 and 3 (and during Session 4 for swimming specialty campers - see details about the swimming specialty) and recreational (not instructional) swim opportunities during Session 4* are an important part of every camper’s camp experience!** Many Zodiac Swim School students and Zodiac Day Camp campers recognize the tremendous and unique advantages and opportunities associated with swimming with Zodiac on a year-round basis!

OUR FACILITIES:Zodiac Day Camp is thrilled with the ongoing feedback about Zodiac’s beautiful, warm water, indoor (weather-safe!) swim facilities at TFS (complete with well-equipped change rooms)! In order to ensure the cleanliness of the pool environment and compliance with TFS policy, all campers are required to wear bathing caps.
