Child Progression

It is important that parents and swimmers alike see their hard work pay off and so at Great Waves Swimming Academy, we are committed to providing parents with written term reports to follow their child’s progression, as well as constant encouragement through our Teddy Mascots and Swimming Excellence Awards. We follow the ASA National Teaching Plan, which provides swimmers with a comprehensive understanding of the strokes and water skills.
