About the program
Built around progress, led by Louis.
Splash Buddies is a structured swim program serving families across North York — focused on real skills, real safety, and faster progression than traditional lessons.
Head Instructor
Louis Caramanna
I built Splash Buddies because too many kids spend years in swim lessons without ever truly becoming swimmers. Levels get repeated. Progress stalls. Parents are left guessing.
My approach is different: every swimmer follows a clear, progression-based pathway from Baby Shark through AquaPro Levels 1–8 and into Rescue Ready. Swimmers move up the moment they master the skills — not when the calendar says so.
The result? Stronger fundamentals, deep-water confidence, real technique, and swimmers who graduate with skills they'll use for life — at the cottage, the beach, and in any pool they jump into.
Our Approach
Progression-based learning, done properly.
Skill-based, not time-based
We advance swimmers when they're ready — not on a fixed schedule. No wasted summers.
Safety as a foundation
Deep water confidence, controlled breathing, and survival skills are built into every level.
Transparent progress
You'll get clear feedback on what your child has mastered and exactly what's next.
Splash Buddies is independently operated and based on proven swim development principles. Rescue Ready provides water safety and lifesaving-based skills; it is not an official lifesaving certification.
