About Us
Summer Swim Academy (SSA) was founded by Marlee Armour in March 2015 and after 10 years of operations has grown to employing 15+ instructors/lifeguards each summer and serving over 500 families across the GTA. Our mission remains the same; our goal is to build awareness of the importance of pool safety while instilling the life skill of swimming through the red cross swim kids program. We are committed to promoting water safety to children across Ontario to drastically reduce the incidents of childhood drownings.
