Swim to Survive is a drowning prevention program offered by the Lifesaving Society of Canada. These iterations were designed in collaboration with community input by cultural teachers who shared their ancestral teachings and equipment, and with the support of local Nuu-chah-nulth leaders in education, recreation, and health care. The community members were taught by certified lifeguards, and swimming instructors qualified by The Lifesaving Society.
