Description

The most celebrated badge of all – the 5m. After all their hard work and determination, they can now swim!

The swimmer must be able to self-propel confidently, independently and without aids or support from an adult the entire 5m.

We also recommend that most arm recovery for freestyle is over the water and the child must regularly place their face into the water whilst blowing bubbles.

All our certificates have a designated place where the stroke performed can be recorded, enabling this to be awarded multiple times for different strokes if required. Often children are more confident on their back having reduced water confidence at first.
