At the Experts Level, it usually takes several courses to achieve the badge — the focus is on consistent practice. Most children reach their goal after about 2 to 3 semesters. What matters most is that your child has fun and feels safe.

SwimStars Philosophy
Our SwimStars accompany children through their swimming education at Swim4Fun. They show which goals should be achieved in the current group and help children (and parents) understand what is currently being worked on.
When the goals of a badge are met, the child is ready for the next group.
Our Principles:
- 📌No pressure – every child has their own pace.
- 🎯SwimStars promote motivation.
- 💙Fun in the water is the focus.
