Adult Awards

Some of the benefits for adults taking up swimming include stress relief as well as the development of greater confidence. Swimming is a non-load bearing sport, which means joints are under far less pressure than in a sport such as running, and as such it may help with injury recovery.

Adult Swimmer Distance Awards
Adult Swimmer Distance Awards are aimed at those over the age of 18 who are learning to swim. They are designed to demonstrate the learner’s ability to swim increasing distances ranging from 10m to 1500m in a stroke of the swimmer’s choice.

A blank award is also available as part of the range and can be used to record special achievements.

Upon successful completion of the Adult Swimmer Distance Awards, swimmers should be encouraged to progress to the Swimfit range.
