2026 Summer Swim Program at Waubuno Beach
Thank you to everyone who registered for swimming lessons this summer! We are thrilled to have helped over 230 children build confidence and improve their skills in the water.
Registration for group lessons is now officially closed. However, summer isn't quite over yet- Waubuno Beach will remain supervised by lifeguards until Friday, September 4 at 6:00 PM. We hope to see you down at the beach enjoying the water!
Bronze Level Courses
The Town of Parry Sound is pleased to offer Bronze Level courses for the 2026 Summer Season.
Please note: the Lifesaving Society has updated the First Aid Training program, historically offered alongside Bronze-level programs. As a result, first aid certification is no longer included as part of our Bronze level programs.
Participants registering in a Bronze- Level program should be aware that any required first aid certification must be completed separately.
The Town of Parry Sound is offering an Intermediate First Aid Course on August 16, 2026, to provide the necessary pre-requisite for Bronze Cross participants. Details of this program are now live below.
