Hi smurf,

As I do not know all the Swim club requirement so what I know from my experience with a few clubs I have taught with is that one must know how to swim all the 4 strokes which is front crawl, breast, back & fly.
Our swimsafer which has 6stages..yes bronze is 4, Silver is 5 & gold is 6 but butterfly is not taught as it is not in the program.
So depends on the kids interest but I wld suggest they continue to stay with their coach after completing their gold to learn the fly!
So far if Im not wrong only clubs provide competitive swim due to many factors why we dont....if anyone bother to know why can pm me
Competitive swim is no joke ya esp for parent having to bring their kids at least 3 times a week of 1-2hrs of training + kids having to juggle with home work so one must be prepare what they are in for!
But end of the day the benefits out way the sacrifice in my opinion

Thanks swimironkids!

Any P1/P2 kids are into competitive training? Can parents give advice on balancing of swimming and schoolwork especially they are quite young and just started formal schooling?


What are the type of meets or competitions they can sign up for?
