Unique Award System

At The Jelli Swim Academy, they believe in celebrating every milestone. That’s why they created a unique award programme designed by their director, Laura, who’s spent over 15 years perfecting the art of teaching swimming.With clear, achievable goals every term, children stay motivated and parents can see their progress at a glance.

Every child earns an e-certificate upon completion of their current award, which can be printed at home or purchased as a high-quality certificate for a small fee of £1.50. Additionally, parents are offered the option to buy a “Swimming Journey Chart,” a keepsake that tracks a child’s progress from one award to the next, creating a memorable record of their swimming achievements.
