ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS
A unique aspect of the Swim Tank experience is our achievement level system. This system not only tracks and rewards our students’ individual progress but it also helps them develop a positive growth mindset. Badges are recorded onto the student’s profile, as they are earned, so both parents and instructors can track the student’s individual hard progress.
There are currently several types of lessons at Swim Tank, based on the achievement level of your child. Children have the opportunity to earn different badges when they master a specific group of skills. Each badge level has been uniquely designed with a child’s physical and emotional development in mind. As children grow and develop they take on more challenges, achieve more badges, and then advance to higher swim levels.
The objective of this system is to not only reward our students when they reach their goals, but also to demonstrate that time, hard work, and effort are necessary for achievement. The rewards that come from this mindset are priceless. When approached positively, this system will instill a positive growth mindset in your children and foster the development of “grit”.
