The Hyack Swim Club offers following Learn To Swim programs:

The City of Coquitlam and HYACK Swim Club have joined together to start the Sears "I Can Swim" Program at the City Centre Aquatic Complex (CCAC) in Coquitlam. Sears "I Can Swim" is an innovative learn-to-swim program of incredible quality developed by Swimming/Natation Canada. Sears "I Can Swim" is a program dedicated to teaching children to swim well in a fun, challenging and rewarding atmosphere. Swimming/Natation Canada has developed a program that teaches children the basics of the four swimming strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. "It is so fantastic to see a six year old start doing breast-stroke kick" says Gail Parker, one of the coaches leading the beginner program of the "I Can Swim". As well, participants are introduced to swimming starts, turns and components of other aquatic sports.

The program is run by Sue Todd. Sue is the Head Coach for the City Centre Aquatic Complex section of the Hyack Swim Club. Sue and Serge Score, Provincial Coach for the Canada Games Pool section of the Hyack Swim Club, were recently presented with the Swim B.C.'s Development Coaches of the Year award for 2001-02.

For information on the specific program levels and assessment of your swimmer, please ask for Sue Todd directly at the CCAC by phone at 604-927-6999 or send email at stodd@coquitlam.ca
