Deciding On A Level

If you don’t yet know which level to put your child in, a general rule of thumb when deciding on a level is to choose the one where the child will be most successful, yet still challenged to improve their skills.  A very quick and basic way to decide is the following:

  • Can your child swim 15 meters or more on their front and back with no lifejacket or floaties?  If they aren’t yet, see the next bullet.  If they are, SwimAbilities may not be able to meet your child’s needs.  See Alternative Swimming Options for ideas on what to do.
  • Can your child swim 3 meters on their front and their back with no lifejacket or floaties? If they aren’t yet, see the next bullet.  If they are, SwimAbilities Level 4 could meet their swimming needs.  See SwimAbilities Level 4 for more information.
  • Can your child float on their front and on their back, and swim one meter with no lifejacket or floaties? If they aren’t yet, see the next bullet.  If they are, SwimAbilities Level 3 could meet their swimming needs.  See SwimAbilities Level 3 for more information.
  • Is your child comfortable in the water and able to go under water either with minimal help, or all by themselves? If they aren’t yet, see the next bullet.  If they are, SwimAbilities Level 2 could meet their swimming needs.  See SwimAbilities Level 2 for more information.
