Criteria for Advancement in Learn to Swim Classes
We all know children develop at different
rates; this is also true with swimming. It is important
children are encouraged every step of the way and allowed to
progress at their own pace. Small words of praise go a long way
towards building your child’s self esteem and confidence. A certificate will be awarded to your child at the progression
to each level.

Class Descriptions
Quick guide to Wilston swimming classes
There are five Learn to Swim
levels in our program starting at Water Safety and
progressing through to Advanced. All swimmers are constantly
monitored and once they are able to perform the skills
required to progress to the next level they will be assessed
and the parents will be notified. Swimmers progress through
the levels as their skills and ability improves. As the
swimmer attains each level they will receive a certificate
of achievement. It is important to keep in mind that
learning to swim is a completely individual experience and
all swimmers will have varying rates of improvement.
