Spots are limited. Please don't register for dates until you are sure you can attend. We don't want a full waitlist and an empty pool. Registration will remain open until one day before each Family Swim date.
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.
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. If this does not describe the parent/caregivers comfort in water, please contact tr@tvcc.on.ca for alternate pool programs.
