Hardisty Lake Swimming Lessons

08/08/2025

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this season such a success! Your support, time, and enthusiasm make all the difference.

Special thanks to Hardisty Lake Campground for helping ensure our last two weeks ran so smoothly, and to Hardisty United Church Camp for generously lending us lifejackets.

We are so grateful for the community spirit that surrounds our program and can’t wait to see you all back at the lake next summer! 💙☀️ Hardisty Agricultural Society Hardisty Lake United Church Camp

We want to say a special thank you to these three. We call them our "helpers" and sometimes our "stuff-holders" or "getters-of-things-we forgot" but the kids will tell you they are so much more:

They are the source of the best ideas, funniest jokes, and funnest games.

They go out of their way, every day to make sure the shy little one knows they are welcome and safe.

They give us the chance to give an extra hand to the kiddo that needs it, in the moment.

Lessons at the lake would not be what they are without you and I hope you three know that when people talk about out how much fun their little swimmer had, they are talking about you! ❤️

We have one more day of lessons for the season!

Tomorrow, Friday, August 8th, Swimmer 2, 3 and 4 will be swimming in clothes!
If the kids could wear pants and a long sleeve shirt that would be great!

Thank you! ☺️

Week one of swimming lessons is officially in the books and what a fantastic week it was! 🌞💦

We hope everyone had a blast at the lake, made great memories, and picked up some new skills along the way!

A huge thank you to:
• Justine Matthews for the donation of water toys
• The Horn family for the awesome float mat
• The Schmidt family for lending us their tumbling mat for week two

Your support makes our lessons extra fun and memorable! 💙 We can’t wait to dive into week two starting Monday!

Hi everyone!

We could really use one of those big floating mats for lessons. Some of the little guys need to be able jump and roll into deep water and the "big dock" is just so intimidating. Before we go buy one, does anyone have a big floaty or a long mat style pad they haven't used in forever that we could buy? I think eventually we would like to have both but either to start would be really great!

Thanks! - Kristen Kobitzsch
