Happy World Bike Day! 🚲 Did you know that it’s GO BY BIKE Week from June 3-9? 🎉 Let’s celebrate cycling by biking to work/school this week!

We love to Do Good in our communities through Pedalheads+ 🫶

Pedalheads+ brings our high-quality bike camps to under-served communities across North America at no cost to families. As part of the program, kids receive a brand new bike, lock, helmet, water bottle, t-shirt and snacks!

This summer, we’ll be celebrating Pedalheads+ Day every Wednesday at each of our bike camp sites. Families will have the opportunity to speak with camp staff and donate to Pedalheads+ so that even more kids have the opportunity to learn how to ride. 🚲

From jumping to into the deep end, to doing a kneeling dive into deep water, and learning how to do a standing dive into deep water. These progressions are crucial for swimmers to learn proper entries and exits. Our swim levels support the learning progression for all skills so that swimmers can build a strong foundation and comfort entering and exiting different depths of water.

TRAIL RIDING CAMP 🚵‍♂️ Our campers joining us for Trail have the opportunity to explore the great outdoors.

Urban terrain
Campers that are ready to experience cycling paths explore the city safely through our urban riding trail camp. This ride is typically over two hours of continuous riding per session and is focused on building skills and stamina to build kids’ confidence for longer rides.

Dirt Terrain
Campers will get off the beaten track and immersed into nature! They’ll learn to ride on different terrain and master challenging trail riding techniques over at least two continuous hours of riding in every session. Nothing builds confidence like navigating challenging terrain!

"At the start of July, my four year old was begging not to be sent to bike camp. He was petrified and adamant that he could not ride without training wheels. He attended his first week of camp back in July and they had him off his training wheels within hours! He loved camp so much that he begged to go again later in the summer...even wanting to use his own birthday money to pay for it!" - Happy Pedalheads Parent and Camper ☀️🚲

Learning what makes up the building blocks of swimming: body position, breathing, kicking, stroke technique, and timing— is broken out into all of our lesson offerings. It's never to late to learn how to swim or improve skills in the water. Check out our program offerings for the winter season at our BC and Ontario pools.

It may not seem like an obvious lesson, but learning how to safely enter and exit the pool is important! Not only does it enforce safety practices with your young swimmer, but it also allows them to practice what it feels like to move in and around the water.
