Alpha Step
The Alpha Step Awards are designed to boost confidence in learners requiring extra support. Alpha Step 1, 2, and 3 Awards are rewarded based on the completion of 6, 12, and 17 out of 22 skills, respectively. These Awards are particularly beneficial for tentative children, hesitant adults, and disabled individuals, emphasising the early development of buoyancy, coordination, breathing, and safe entry/exit. Once these basics are mastered, learners can seamlessly transition to Stage 1 of the Learn to Swim Programme.
