Swimming continuums
Pool or calm water continuum

Beach or surf centre continuum
The skill progression in the ‘surf’ differs slightly to ‘calm water’ because of the variable conditions children and instructors encounter in this environment.
Higher stages at beach or surf centres include advanced surf awareness and are similar to that offered at surf clubs. Specific information regarding the higher awards can be gained by contacting VacSwim.
