ASA AWARDS: STROKE AWARD
ASA SPEED & STROKE AWARDS
New to our Mini Squad swimming lessons:
The ASA Swimming Stroke Awards are great for children keen to show their skills in individual strokes.
Covering backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle and individual medley, these five badge and certificate supported awards encourage swimmers to learn the correct skills in strokes, turns and finishes before learning to swim faster.
The ASA Speed Awards cover all four strokes with Bronze, Silver and Gold Award categories.
If a child achieves a Gold from the Speed Awards this is a good indication that he or she is certainly of a club standard.
