Everyone Should Achieve

Basic Water Competency

REDUCE THE RISK OF DROWNING BY 88%

What is Basic Water Competency?

Having Basic Water Competency means that you are comfortable in the water, and that you can swim confidently about 25 yards. These skills help guard you from tragedy that could happen as a result of an accidental entry into water, and allow you to enjoy a minimum level of aquatic activity, sports or boating.

To Achieve BASIC WATER COMPETENCY a Student Must:

  • Perform the Safety Cycletm in deep water. See below.
  • Scan 360 degrees of the pool.
  • Comfortably and confidently propel 25 yards to an exit.
  • Exit the pool without the aid of ladder or steps.
Most of the new swim schools don't have water over 4' deep. Without the opportunity to learn safety skills in deep water, you or your child may not be able to pass the Basic Water Competency challenge.
