Swim Lessons

CLR - S23 - Camps Website-3

Every summer, Cowichan Lake Recreation offers a variety of swimming lessons at beautiful Arbutus Park in Youbou. Our lessons are among the most affordable in the Cowichan Valley and our certified swim instructors will help your child refine their skills in a truly nostalgic setting. Swim instructors and lifeguards will be dependent on staff recruitment and lessons may be cancelled and/or lifeguard service may not be available.

Lifeguards may be on duty in July and August. Please check this page for an updated Lifeguard Schedule.
