How progression works
Every swimmer progresses when they are ready and demonstrating the skills, confidence and consistency needed to move to the next stage.
Formal assessment weeks
Formal assessments are conducted during the first six weeks of each term, with one swimming level assessed each week. After their child’s assessment, families receive a progress report by email and can track ongoing progress at any time through the Parent Portal or the Pymble Swimming App.
Our five-stage skill development scale helps families see how their child is improving over time, even before they are ready to move to the next level:
1.
Introducing
2.
Developing
3.
Consolidating
4.
Refining
5.
Proficient
Formal assessments are conducted by our Pool Deck Supervisors — experienced senior staff who oversee lessons and ensure assessments are carried out consistently. When a swimmer is ready to progress to the next level, a Pool Deck Supervisor will speak with their family to guide them through the next steps.
