It’s important to track your child’s’ progress in the water.
That’s why we have created a Badge System which lets you keep track of your child’s progress in the pool. While also making sure our little swimmers are awarded for their hard work.
How it works:
Classes run 46 weeks annually. During this time we evaluate and reward each swimmer 3 times a year (April, August and November). Each evaluation period consists of 15 swimming weeks, excluding holidays so no lesson is lost.
Each swimmer is formally evaluated before receiving a certificate and moving on to the next level.
There are 8 Swimming Badges. Each badge represents a level which has six outcomes.
