Class Progression & Assessment
Swimmer Development
Building Confident, Safe & Skilled Swimmers
Bluesalt Swim School is committed to helping every swimmer develop confidence, water safety skills and swimming ability at an appropriate pace.
Ongoing Assessment
Students are continually observed and assessed by our teaching team throughout their lessons.
- Swimming skills
- Water confidence
- Safety skills
- Consistency
- Overall readiness for the next level
- Ability to follow instructions
Progression Between Levels
When a swimmer is ready to progress, Bluesalt may contact the parent or guardian to discuss suitable next-level or class options.
- Progression does not occur at the same time for every swimmer.
Individual Development
Children develop swimming skills at different rates.
Progress may be influenced by:
- Attendance
- Consistency
- Confidence
- Age and development
- Previous swimming experience
- Skill development
Class Placement
Bluesalt aims to place each swimmer in a class that is appropriate for their current ability, confidence and development.
- A child's class level may change when our teaching team considers a different level more suitable.
Parent Communication
Parents and guardians are welcome to discuss their child’s progress with the Bluesalt team.
- We encourage families to provide positive support and celebrate progress rather than comparing children with others.
Progress Is Individual
Our goal is to help every swimmer develop strong swimming skills and confidence at their own pace.
- Moving to the next level is based on readiness rather than simply completing a particular number of lessons.
