Swim Competency
For safety and development reasons, junior activity participants (U8 to U13) shall complete a “proficiency evaluation” at the start of the season. There is ALSO a proficiency evaluation that is required to be completed for ALL junior and senior competitors (U10 to U13) at SLSWA carnivals.
This is different and separate to the club proficiency swim at the start of the season.
Season Start Preliminary Proficiency Swim
Water proficiencies are a very important part of Fremantle Surf Life Saving Club’s initial assessments for safety as well as competence. All junior members (nippers) in Under 8 to Under 13 wishing to enter the water during nipper activities MUST have a basic level of swim competency and hence complete the required swim proficiency at the start of each season, as outlined below. Any child not able to complete the proficiency will not be able to take part in the season nipper program and their membership will be refunded.

Further to the season start proficiency swim, anyone from Under 10 to Under 13 wishing to compete in ANY SLSWA carnival event/s or attend board and/or swim training, must successfully complete the competition evaluation as outlined below (this includes just beach events at carnivals):
