Aquatics
The RPAY Aquatics Program supports pool operations, programming and leadership in rural Yukon. Through our annual Spring Aquatics Workshop, we foster knowledge and skills around safe pool operations, lifesaving, and the instruction of Red Cross and Lifesaving Society learn-to-swim programs, as needed. An orientation to the Yukon is also a key component.
