Water Skills Awards
Water Skills Awards are a useful addition to a swimming programme and are particularly suitable for intensive activity programmes. They add new dimensions to aquatic fun by teaching confidence, versatility, skills and endurance. All ten skills in each grade must be attempted, but pupils need only pass eight. Pupils with a disability may take on eight skills and will need to pass six. Swimmers who successfully complete the final level, Grade 6, should be able to swim 75 metres within two minutes using three different strokes.
