NOTES

All published entry levels are the minimum levels expected. Preference will always be given to swimmers with a proven ability to train at the required level with a high record of availability for Galas and demonstrate commitment.

The Club Coach will have the final say in any promotion, demotion or dispute that may arise.

Swimmers should always achieve the required level of attainment before promotion.

All levels of attainment are only a guide to the syllabus taught in each group. In most groups, a whole range of skills/water-based activities are enjoyed including ASA awards, Time Trials, Club Galas, Stroke Clinics, Swimmer education lectures and all relevant aquatic skills
