Interm swimming classes operate a 12 stage program at pool or calm water centres in accordance with the Department of Education Swimming and Water Safety Continuum [PDF] (stages 1-9) and Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) personal survival (stages 10 to 12). These same twelve stages are also offered in the Department’s Vacswim classes. A more detailed copy of the requirements for each skill listed on the continuum (stages 1-9) is available at Department of Education Swimming Teachers Handbook and Guidelines [PDF].
