Duckling & Distance Awards

The Duckling Awards are designed to help young children to enjoy learning to swim with help from parents, guardians or swimming teachers.

Your child can work towards five grades of colourful awards, each with its own certificate and badge. Buoyancy aids, such as armbands, can be used for the first four grades as the child learns to float and gets used to the water. The fifth and final grade has young swimmers jumping into the water, submerging, and floating and swimming five metres without aids.
