Education

SwimStart
SwimStart certificates correspond to the five levels of learn to swim development.  Each certificate has a series of skills for the swimmer to complete (itemized on the back of each certificate) before the certificate is awarded.   The certificates are bright and colourful and deliberately designed to appeal to young children.

SwimSkills
Following on from SwimStart, SwimSkills certificates are awarded to swimmers when specific strokes and distances have been achieved with good technique.  Teachers can sign and date the certificate to mark the achievement.

Challenge
Challenge certificates are designed as incentives for swimmers who have mastered the swimming strokes to achieve specific goal times at different distances.  Each has three levels of achievement – gold, silver and bronze.   There are five certificates in total – one for each stroke – Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke, Butterfly and Individual Medley.  Each certificate has space for the sticker levels, allowing the swimmer to be recognised for improvement over time.   View the times corresponding to the gold, silver and bronze achievement standards by downloading the Challenge Certificate Times.
