Cadet Award Scheme

Each child taking part in a Cadet Course will be working towards achieving swimming awards promoted by the Amateur Swimming Association (A.S.A). These Awards cater for a wide range of swimming abilities, and are suited to the needs of Kingston Royals Cadet Swim School teaching programme. Achievement of the various A.S.A. Awards will be included as part of the assessment of each course. Attainment of the A.S.A. Time Awards by the swimmers involved in the Cadet Swim School teaching programme will only be taken from performances during the course assessments/time trials, or Cadet Galas.

Guidelines

Please inform us in writing of any health problems; E.g.: Asthma, Epilepsy, Bad hearing, Diabetes, acute short sight, weak heart, etc.

During Teaching Sessions

• No Bermuda shorts/beach/cycle shorts type swimwear to be worn
• Children with long hair are requested to wear a swim hat
• No watches or jewellery to be worn

Please advise us of reasons for absence, in advance if possible

Promptness on the poolside prior to the start of a lesson avoids distraction by latecomers

Listings of all the badges which can be achieved during the assessments carried out at the end of each course are posted on the club notice boards

Assessments will normally take place in the last weeks of every 12 week course

Parent meetings will be arranged, following assessments, to give advice on the continuation of courses being offered. Here the general aims of the next phase are discussed. (Regular attendance will be considered for continuation onto a future course.)

Swimming coaches are able to discuss your child's progress at these meetings. 

Please inform KRSC by the last day of the current course being attended, or earlier, should you wish to discontinue with the programme.
