Water Wise Women
A swimming program for senior and older women with a focus to promote healthy aging by improving mobility, participation in sports, foster social connection and life long physical activity.
The program benefits newcomers, racialized older/senior women by providing gentle water awareness, beginner-friendly swimming lessons, and light aquatic movements. The lessons are facilitated by trained coaches prioritizing dignity, inclusion addressing common barriers such as fear of water, limited access and cultural exclusion. The goal of the program is to enrol at least 25 women each year and provide them with an opportunity to be physically active and achieve optimal health benefits.
