Lesson Criteria and Certificates

There are many different grading systems for swimming schools and some seem to be excessive an not too logical. Therefore at Swim Pods, we have kept things simple.

We have 9 distinct Swim Pod levels from a complete beginner through to an accomplished swimmer. Each level and certificate recognises a significant improvement in a child’s swimming skill and ability and allows children to progress confidently with their swimming.

Certificates are available for each swimming level, in addition to some key distance certificates.
