A normal swimming term will run for between
12 and 14 weeks, generally run in line with the local school terms. During these
terms, children will learn how to swim and develop water skills as they
progress. During each term there are three main events:
Assessment week
Between weeks 8 - 10, each child is assessed on their development so far
that term. We then decide which class to put them into the following term.
Each class works towards one of the National Curriculum levels 1 - 12. By
passing all the criteria for the appropriate award, the child will move
to the next class. If they do not achieve all the specified criteria, they
will stay in the same class for the following term.
Badge Week
At the end of term, every child receives a badge and certificate to recognise
their hard work throughout the term. Whether it is an ASA Level achievement,
distance award or blank award, everyone receives a badge. Re-booking forms
are also issued at this time, entitling each swimmer a guaranteed place
for next term.
Re-booking Week
The re-booking form includes confirmation of the time, day and level of
class each child will be attending the following term. We allocate a week
after the end of term for pupils to guarantee their booking. A confirmation
package is then forwarded to each pupil by email once payment is recieved.
