Level 1: Skills can be done with assistance

-Enter independently, using either the ramp, steps or side, travel at least 5 yards, submerge to mouth and blow bubbles for at least 3 seconds, then safely exit the water. (Children can walk, move along the gutter or “swim.”)

-While in shallow water, glide on front for at least 2 body lengths, then roll to back and float on back for 3 seconds, then recover to a vertical position.

Level 2: Skills can be done with assistance

-Glide on front for at least 2 body lengths, roll to back, float on back for 15 seconds, then recover to a vertical position. 

-Glide on back for at least 2 body lengths, roll to front, then recover to a vertical position.

-Swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 3 body lengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to front, then continue swimming on front for 3 body lengths.

Level 3: Skills must be done independently

-Step from the side into chest-deep water, push off the bottom, move into a treading or floating position for 15 seconds, swim on front and/or back for 5 body lengths, then exit the water. 

-Move into a back float for 15 seconds, roll to front, then recover to a vertical position. 3. Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5 body lengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to front, then continue swimming for 5 body lengths.

Level 1:

- Enter independently, using either the ramp, steps or side, travel at least 5 yrds (to the flags), bob 5 times, then safely exit the water (Participants can walk, move along the gutter or “swim”)

-Glide on front at least 2 body lengths, roll to a back float for 5 seconds and recover to a vertical position (This part of the assessment can be performed with assistance)

Level 2:

-Step from side into chest-deep water, push off the bottom, move into a treading or floating position for at least 15 seconds, swim on front and/or back for 5 body lengths, then exit the water.

-Move into a back float for 15 seconds, roll to front then recover to a vertical position

-Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5 body lengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to the front, then continue swimming for 5 body lengths.

Level 3:

-Jump into deep water form the side, recover to the surface, maintain position by treading or floating for 1 minute, rotate one full turn then turn as necessary to orient to the exit point, level off, swim front crawl and/or elementary backstroke for 25 yrds (one pool length), then exit the water.

-Push off in a streamline position then swim front crawl for 15 yrds, change position and direction as necessary, swim elementary backstroke for 15 yds, then exit the water.

Level 4:

-Perform a feetfirst entry into deep water, swim front crawl for 25 yards, change direction and position as necessary and swim elementary backstroke for 25 yards. 

-Swim breaststroke for 15 yards, change direction and position as necessary and swim back crawl for 15 yards.

-Submerge and swim a distance of 3 to 5 body lengths underwater without hyperventilating, return to the surface, then exit the water.

Level 5:

-Perform a shallow-angle dive into water at least 9 feet deep, swim front crawl for 50 yards, then swim elementary backstroke 50 yards using appropriate and efficient turning styles throughout. -Swim breaststroke for 25 yards, change direction of travel as necessary and then swim back crawl for 25 yards using appropriate and efficient turning styles throughout.
