Our structured Stages 1–7 programme includes Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Personal Survival awards. These stages involve significant skill development and are not designed for children to pass every term—each stage represents a meaningful, longer-term progression.

Children can also work towards their distance badges, ranging from 5 metres up to 1000 metres. These badges celebrate growing confidence, stamina, and swimming technique.

To keep children excited and engaged, we’ve created a fun Aqua Skills pathway. With over 30 different skills to collect, swimmers can regularly experience success and feel proud of their achievements in the water.
Assessments take place every other term, and your child’s progress will be updated on their swimming record. You can view this at any time by logging in to your Client Hub.
Badges and certificates are available to purchase for £4 each during the last week of term.
Please note: we keep assessments very low-key. We never tell the children when an assessment is happening, as we want them to feel relaxed, confident, and free from pressure while they enjoy their lessons.
