The North Shore swim program, being only three stages in length, serves to cover our entire ten step swim program.
With this in mind, once you’ve found out what stage the child is in, clarify how far along the given stage the child is. Eg.
If they are in I CAN SWIM Stage two but only just passed into it and are still not quite able to swim ten meters of front
crawl but can kick on their front, back and side for 10m then they would move into Swim Kids 4 as they wouldn’t meet
the skills required for Swim Kids 5. If the parent truly has no idea but knows the child has been in the stage for a decent
amount of time, simply put them into the intermediate level of the Swim Stage there in.
