About Us
Lifesaving Courses for Everybody
Founded on a vision of making lifesaving courses widely accessible, Ottawa Lifesaving Courses emerged from this simple, powerful idea. Our founder Bob first came up with the concept during a lengthy five-hour drive to Toronto to receive his National Lifeguard Recertification. Recognizing the scarcity of local, efficient options for lifesaving courses, Bob was inspired to fill this gap in the market.
​
At Ottawa Lifesaving Courses, we are committed to three core values: knowledge dissemination, pursuit of excellence, and uncompromising quality. Our goal is to provide each and every candidate with an exceptional and personalized learning experience. We emphasize adaptability and high instructional standards, ensuring that each course not only meets but exceeds expectations.
Our mission is to instill this culture of excellence in our candidates, fostering their growth in lifesaving skills. We are committed to raising the standard of lifesaving training, ensuring that quality and knowledge are at the forefront of everything we do.
