Milestone Ribbons

Every Smart Fish Method student can collect a milestone ribbon for each major skill they master. From passing their survival test to swimming a complete individual medley, the milestone ribbons are more than just positive reinforcement. They represent a significant step in your child’s journey to water safety and eventually, stroke mastery.SFM Ribbons_Page14up_Banner

Grade Level Wristbands

The Smart Fish Method is organized into a system of 10 grade levels, each level representing an important compilation of skills that, when applied together, lead to safer, stronger swimmers. We feel it is important to recognize these grade level advancements. Our grade level wristbands are a fun way of showing this. We encourage all of our Smart Fish Method students to proudly wear their wristbands to each lesson as they continue to strive for that next level.SFMwristband_1

 

Skill Cards

Watch Me Grow… In the Smart Fish Method. For every skill mastered, Smart Fish Students can collect their own achievement cards and keep them in their very own Smart Fish Skill Card Book. From backfloat to butterfly, you can use these cards to track your child’s advancement through the Smart Fish Method while your swimmer gains the positive reinforcement that is crucial to the learning process.
