The programme covers a range of advanced swimming techniques, including diving, underwater swimming, and survival strokes. Participants are also required to complete a theory component covering essential water safety knowledge and understanding of aquatic environments. The programme concludes with a series of practical assessments, which measure the participant's swimming ability and water safety knowledge.
The SwimSafer Silver programme is an excellent way for children to further develop their swimming skills and water safety knowledge. The programme is designed to challenge children and push them to their limits, helping them to develop a sense of confidence and resilience.
