HydroKidz Duckling Stage 1 Award

Hydrokidz Duckling Awards are a fantastic way to help toddlers enjoy their experience in learning to swim and keep track of, and take pride in, their progress. With HydroKidz's Duckling awards your child can work their way through HydroKidz's stages, earning 4 bright and colourful awards along the way. Duckling level 1 is awarded when children start to move by themselves in the water. As they progress through the stages to Duckling 4 they will be jumping in, going underwater, floating and swimming without support for at least 5 metres. Each award has its own certificate and badge.
