Swimming levels

Swimming levels now are easy to follow for our kinder and 1st grade students.

Students will recognize their swimming level and then keep working to get the next level of achievement.

 

Kinder and 1st grade levels

Level blue is the first level, 2nd level is yellow, 3rd level is red and 4th level is green. Students will be placed at a level according to their skills and regardless of their grade. Within a grade we could find children with varied skills, therefore, the student may be placed at a different level than their peers. The class will be, however, conducted per grade level. We will focus on each child individually, to train and motivate them until they can reach their next level. At the end of the trimester, we will re-evaluate the students and assess the level achieved.
