Due to a high volume of program registrations, the following measures will be in effect on February 20 for spring program registration:
From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. all use of the activeOshawa Online will be suspended. Contact a recreation facility to book a court or drop-in activity.
Users will be placed in the waiting room queue at 8 a.m. until registration opens at 9 a.m. At 9:00 a.m., users will be randomly placed in line in the queue.
Email confirmation of registration and payment will be delayed and will take several hours to complete.
During busy registration periods, course payments will appear as a credit on your activeOshawa account, and registrations will appear as pending under "My Courses".
If your payment has been processed on your card but does not appear in your account, contact the City of Oshawa at 905-436-3311 or [email protected] for assistance.
The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Medallion challenges candidates both mentally and physically. Judgment, knowledge, skills, and fitness form the foundation of Bronze Medallion training. Candidates develop assessment and problem-solving skills needed to make sound decisions in, on, and around the water.
It is highly recommended that candidates entering this course have successfully completed Lifesaving Society Swimmer 6 or an equivalent level to ensure readiness for stroke evaluation and overall course success.
Course Requirements:
Participants must attend 100% of all scheduled classes and should arrive prepared to complete:
• An endurance swim – 400 metres timed, completed in under 12 minutes, or under 11 minutes if the pool is measured in yards (to be achieved by end of course).
• A stroke assessment – All strokes and lifesaving-kicks must meet Lifesaving Society standards.
Bronze Medallion is a prerequisite for assistant lifeguard training in Bronze Cross.
