“The teachers will be working to a criteria when moving a swimmer up a stage, once criteria is met (this is the teacher’s discretion) the swimmer will be moved up a level when space is available. Parent/guardian will be contacted by Joni Lee via email when the child is ready to move up a stage. We move children as and when they are ready rather than waiting until the end of term. We will always try to allocate the swimmer the same time slot or within a 30min range either side but sadly sometimes this is not possible but can be discussed with Joni the swim school manager over email at the time of the child moving up a level”
