Awards & Badges

Aqualight has developed an original, tailored swimming curriculum for babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers up to the age of 3. Early years classes focus on bonding, water enjoyment, and foundational swimming skills, helping children develop self-awareness, balance, mobility, and confidence through age-appropriate activities. This progressive approach supports key milestones, fostering independence and a lifelong love for swimming.

From the age of 3, our curriculum integrates the STA International Learn to Swim Programme with the STA Distance Awards, creating a progressive and high-standard learning experience. We nurture well-rounded swimmers by combining skill development and endurance at every stage of their journey. 

Each term alternates between skill-focused and distance-focused goals, ensuring swimmers build the confidence, technique, and stamina required to progress. This balanced approach allows us to offer a tailored pathway that supports swimmers as they grow and achieve their full potential in the water.

Badges are entirely optional, and children progress through the series at their own pace, with no pressure to achieve.
