The National Swimming Award has been designed to set nationally approved standards of competence that every child can expect to achieve by the age of ten years. Presented as a teaching pack this programme is ideally suited to school swimming lessons with the core skills covered in both levels complementing the Learn to Swim Programme: The skills covered within the first level, the NSA, are covered at level 4 and the NSA PLUS at level 8 of the national syllabus.
The 6 test items at each level are followed by an interactive water safety card that is ideal for classroom discussion/projects. To complement the programme and to help track development the National swimming Award now has its own swimmer log card.
