Seal Program
The Seal Certificate Program (or Seal Program) offers an alternative approach to swim instruction in Saskatchewan, merging the fundamentals of swimming with the dynamic sport of water polo. Designed to instill confidence and proficiency in young swimmers, this program consists of two divisions: Seal Pups and Seals, each offering a progression of levels tailored to individual abilities.
| Seal Pups (~ages 6-9) |
| Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 |
| Seals (~ages 9-11) |
| City Seal Provincial Seal National Seal World Seal Olympic Seal |
With each level, swimmers not only enhance their swimming abilities but also cultivate teamwork, endurance, and sportsmanship essential for success both in and out of the pool. Dive into the Seal Program today and discover the transformative power of water polo-infused swim education.
The Seal Program is facilitated by the clubs in Saskatchewan. Be sure to explore the offerings provided by your local club for an experience tailored just for you.
