Swimmers must meet the criteria for each level in order to pass to the next one. They must also meet the age/size requirements for the levels so that they can succeed in the next level. At the end of each session, swimmers receive a report card, as well as a sticker if they pass the level.

Swimmers must be able to perform each evaluated skill to the standard the level they are in, before they can pass to the next one. Each level builds on the last, adding techniques to skills previously learned. At the end of each session, swimmers receive a report card, as well as a badge if they pass the level.
