Swim lesson intensives provide the perfect opportunity for your child to develop skills, enhance technique, and improve confidence in and around the water. The Y believes that developing proper swim skills significantly reduces the risk of water-related accidents and encourages a healthy lifestyle.

Your child is a non-swimmer if they:

• Are not yet comfortable being in the water.
• Are not yet comfortable placing their face in the water.
• Are not yet able to float on their back or front without assistance.
  

You or your child are beginners if you:

• Are comfortable submerging their head under water.
• Are able to float on their back and front without assistance.
• Are not yet able to swim 10 yards independently without a flotation device.
  

Each swim lesson will run for 30-minutes and will end promptly at the time specified.

For children's lessons, it is encouraged, but not required, for the parent or guardian to remain on the pool deck during swim lessons. Remaining present during swim lessons gives the parent/guardian the ability to see their child's progress firsthand.

Depending on the season, Camp Seafire host a different themed camp! All camps include various fun activities relating to S.T.E.A.M theme. Splash at Seafire, pool, ocean and fun activities all week long.

During the CMEC students focus on tropical marine ecology and conservation. Learning from CCMI scientists & educators, no two days are the same as they dive, snorkel, and explore a pristine reef system.

CMEC LEVEL 1

Camp activities in CMEC Level 1 are designed to be an immersive introduction to tropical marine ecology. We’ll go on dive and snorkel outings to practice coral & fish identification, observe a lionfish dissection, participate in engaging classroom lectures about important reef topics, take part in a night snorkel, play beach games, share memories around an evening bonfire, and much more! Targeting marine ecology basics, we encourage students to gain leadership skills through group settings and team building activities.

CMEC LEVEL 2

This course is perfect for students who have already participated in CMEC Level 1, as it develops information further from that first camp experience. Students spend one week living amongst CCMI scientists & educators, building upon their prior knowledge, while developing new and more specialised skills amongst peers. This can include field work in our coral nursery, reef surveys, and advanced fish & coral identification skills. This experience is certain to take your passion for coral reefs to the next level!
