Skills are not assessed in this class, as this is the last level in our program. Instead, this level works towards gaining Personal Bests, working on stroke technique and building stamina.

Instead of a list of skills, there will be a sheet of water proof paper that each child’s PB’s will be recorded onto. The teacher must always carry a stop watch (provided) and can record the swimming time for each stroke. This way, the child can see how they have progressed in this level with their times.
