Winnipeg swimming school offering free babysitting courses for youth across Manitoba this winter

Youth looking to become a certified babysitter have an opportunity to do so for free.

 

The Aqua Essence Swim Academy in Winnipeg will be offering the Red Cross Babysitting Course free of charge to 370 kids across Manitoba, thanks to the Safe at Home grant from the Province of Manitoba.

 

Rishona Hyman, the owner and instructor of the school, says the course is for participants between the ages of eleven and 15, and is taught by certified instructors using Zoom through four two-hour classes.

 

Hyman explains the course will teach the participants how to meet the needs of children of all ages, prevent and respond to emergencies, and promote themselves as a babysitter.

 

To register for the course or for more information, visit aquaessence.ca.

 

You can also tune in to Thompson Today at 12;40 and 5:10 this afternoon for the full interview.
