Level assessment

Do you want to know at which level to register yourself or your child? Evaluations can be conducted during open swim periods.

For beginners who cannot swim, it is recommended to register for Starfish 2 level (for children aged 4 to 5) or White level (for children aged 6 and above).

You can review the prerequisites for each course to make the right choice. After the evaluation, a form will be provided indicating the appropriate course level for your child to enroll in.

If your child is registered at the wrong level, an automatic refund will be issued, and you will need to join the waiting list for the correct course.

Please note that only one registration per person is allowed, and any additional registrations will be refunded.
