BRONZE WATER SAFETY
At Level 5 pupils have the choice of two ladders taking them towards a Gold Award or they may join a specialist swimming club.
Alternatively, they may wish to progress up both ladders at the same time. The two ladders are:
The Advanced Swimmer Series consisting of three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold; each award has a badge and certificate. This series develops swimming technique, speed, stamina and water polo or synchronised swimming skills.
The Water Safety Skills Series also comprising three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold; with badges and certificates. This series develops survival and rescue skills.
Pupils who have achieved both Level 7 Awards - Gold Advanced Swimmer and Gold Water Safety Skills may progress to the Ultimate STA Award, the Platinum Award.
Level 8 - the Platinum Award is the pinnacle of the ILSP scheme combining survival and rescue skills with advanced swimming skills and the option of either water polo or synchronised swimming.
