Level Up With Ribbons
Every ribbon represents a milestone in your child’s swimming journey. Our ribbon system celebrates achievement while tracking meaningful progress through our program.
How Our Ribbon System Works
Three ribbons per level. Each ribbon represents mastering a key skill that builds toward confident, capable swimming.
Assessments happen throughout the term. There are no special test days. Your child’s teacher watches for readiness and calls over a Supervisor when they’re ready to demonstrate a skill. It’s a natural, stress-free process—children are simply showing what they’ve learned during regular class time.
Supervisors conduct assessments. Our trained Supervisors ensure every child meets our consistent standard with fair, encouraging assessments that celebrate effort and achievement.
Why This System Works
Each ribbon rewards genuine progress and effort—that moment of pride is valuable for building confidence. The system gives children clear goals to work toward while maintaining consistent teaching standards throughout our swim school.
The best part? Assessments happen when your child is ready, not based on calendar dates. No pressure, just natural progression at their own pace.
When Your Child Completes a Level
When your child earns all three ribbons, they’re ready to progress to the next level. You’ll receive a congratulations email, and they’ll move up to continue building their skills.
What happens next? Our team will help you transfer to an available class in their new level. If there’s no immediate space, your child can stay in their current level while waitlisted. They’ll continue practicing their skills until the perfect spot opens up.
Progress You Can See
Watching your child earn ribbons and progress through our program is one of the most rewarding parts of the swimming journey. Every ribbon represents hours of practice, growing confidence, and developing water skills that will last a lifetime.
