Most pupils achieve the 100 metres distance award plus the relevant skills before moving to the Advanced level of swimming.

Advanced classes

Age group: These classes are not designed for a particular age group, but take ability into consideration. Children should be able to demonstrate good technique for front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke. They should also be able to demonstrate some butterfly technique.

Additionally: Over 12s will be eligible for the National Rescue Standard (NaRS) Cross Qualification, which is a set of three awards – Bronze, Silver and Gold.

This is a Lifesaving and First Aid qualification, and teaches water safety, personal survival skills, basic life support skills, timed swimming and rescue skills.

The NaRS Cross is recognised as an ideal introductory training programme for those wishing to become Pool or Beach Lifeguards.

Once pupils have achieved all of the available awards and badges, some continue swimming for fitness, and can learn additional skills, such as snorkelling.
