Level Information
~Level Placement: View the level descriptions and choose the best option for the student based on their age and current skills. In-the-water level evaluations are available, upon request.
~Level Advancements: Students do not automatically move up to the next level. Promotion to an advanced level is awarded once all the skills are consistently mastered and the instructor feels the student is ready for higher challenges. It is customary for students to continue in a particular level for multiple sessions.
~Level Recommendations: Level recommendations are given by the instructors towards the end or at the completion of each Session. The recommendations are to notify you of which level the swimmer will need for their next Session. If you have registered for a different level than what has been recommended, you will need to contact the office to make Session changes. These recommendations are valid for up to two (2) months. After that time the swimmer's skills may relapse.
~Level Certificates: A detailed certificate will be handed out on the last day of each Session. The certificate will list all skills covered during the session.
