BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
We are in the process of revitalizing the facilities and programs at the Accora
Centre. Unfortunately, we no longer have the space to facilitate the Boys &
Girls Club of Ottawa to run their program at full capacity. To ensure the quality
of their programming is maintained, we will be closing the Accora Village Boys
& Girls Club location, and redirecting members to the Britannia Clubhouse
location. All current members will be provided with free transportation to and
from the Clubhouse for the remainder of 2016. This shuttle will be chaperoned
by Senior Youth Worker, Maya Aden, and will leave the Bayshore Park field
house at 4:30pm and return at 7:30pm, Monday to Friday. These changes will
be effective May 2, 2016.

ACCORA VILLAGE IN NICARAGUA
Over March Break, an amazing group of staff and youth from Accora Village, with
partners from SchoolBOX Canada, made the journey to rural Managua, Nicaragua,
to build a school as part of a humanitarian effort. The school is now complete,
and all participants enjoyed an extraordinary experience soaking up Nicaraguan
culture! We were honoured to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
LANDLORD-TENANT FOOD DRIVE
Each year, landlords across the city of Ottawa ask their tenants to donate nonperishable
items for the Ottawa Food Bank. Accora Village has been a proud
participant in this annual drive for years, and we are happy to report that we
surpassed our previous totals this year! We collected well over 100 boxes of nonperishable
food, and would like to thank all our residents for your participation
and donations!

PRESCHOOL SWIMMING LESSONS
Red Cross Swim Preschool
PARENT & TOT | AGES 3 MOS. TO 3 YRS.
This refreshing class will introduce your little ones to the joys of swimming.
They’ll be taught submersion techniques, front and back floats and glides, front
kicking, and front swim. Tots will also learn how to hop into chest-deep water,
with the help and safety provided by their caregivers.
SEA OTTER | AGES 3 TO 6
Little swimmers will kick their legs with the help of an instructor while working on
their front and back floats and blasting off the wall to learn front and back glides.
When they finish these lessons, they’ll be able to swim one metre unassisted.
SALAMANDER
Get your kick on with the front and back glide, improve your front and back float,
and take an unassisted jump into the water! Swimmers will complete two metres
of continuous swim all by themselves.
SUNFISH
Kick, glide, float, and swim! Swimmers become little fish as they perform front
and back glides, float in deep water, and swim five metres. They’ll also learn how
to safely enter deep water and swim with a personal flotation device.
CROCODILE
Swimmers perform the front and back glide, further developing the move with
kicking. They’ll learn front and back swim and take a leap into the deep end,
swimming in these depths with the help of a personal flotation device. Watch
them take off as they swim 10 metres continuously.
WHALE
Swimmers will kick to greater distances with the front and back glide. Go even
further with the front and back swim and perform 15 metres of continuous
swim. Little ones will also be taught how to perform the sitting dive.
33

KIDS SWIMMING LESSONS
Red Cross Swim Kids
LEVEL 1 | AGES 6+
Little experience is needed to learn these basics. Includes assistance with:
front and back glides, front and back float, flutter kick, entering and exiting from
shallow waters, and swimming up to 5 metres.
LEVEL 2
When the basics are covered, continue to improve the distance on your front
and back glide by adding the flutter kick to the mix. You’ll learn the front swim,
perform assisted deep-water activities, and reach new swimming milestones by
completing the 10 metre distance.
LEVEL 3
Swim even further using the front and back glides with flutter kick. We’ll
introduce you to the importance of using a personal flotation device (PFD) and
floating in the deep end, and bring your swimming distance up to 15 metres.
LEVEL 4
Continue your swimming progress with new water moves like the back swim
with shoulder roll and front crawl. You’ll learn how to flutter kick on your back,
and be introduced to the kneeling dive and sculling, all while achieving a new
swimming distance of 25 metres.
LEVEL 5
Swimmers dive deeper into skill-building as they further develop their front
crawl, and improve their back skills into full back crawl, going as far as 15
metres. Learn how to whip kick on your back, stride dive, and tread water.
Perform head-first sculling while on your back, while doubling up on your
distance by reaching 50 metres.
LEVEL 6
Increase your distance to 25 metres with front and back crawls. Swim 15
metres once you learn the elementary backstroke, and learn to dolphin kick
and tread deep water. You’ll learn how to dive head-first, and increase your
swimming distance to 75 metres.
34

LEVEL 7
Swim longer distances as you build your water skills! Swim 50 metres with
the front and back crawl, 25 metres with the elementary backstroke, and 150
metres of continuous swim. Learn the front scull, stride entry, and perform the
front whip and dolphin kicks.
LEVEL 8
Swim further with the front and back crawl (75 metres), the elementary
backstroke (25 metres), and continuously swim up to 300 metres. You’ll be
taught how to swim 15 metres of breaststroke, learn eggbeater, and perform a
feet-first surface dive.
LEVEL 9
Go the distance! Complete 100 metres of front and back crawl, 50 metres of
elementary backstroke, 25 metres of breaststroke, and 400 metres of continuous
swim. Learn the sidestroke kick, and master the head-first surface dive.
LEVEL 10
In the final level, swimmers will reach longer distances in their front and back
crawl (100 metres), elementary backstroke (50 metres), breaststroke (50
metres), sidestroke (25 metres), and reach 500 metres in continuous swim.
Learn how to perform the vertical dolphin kick and graduate your surface diving
with the underwater swim.
