STAnley 7 Skills Descriptors

Here we look at the ILSP award from the STA: STAnley 7

What are they?
The STAnley First Steps Series is an exciting series of 7 progressive awards specifically designed to teach learners from 2 years – with or without an accompanying adult – basic swimming and water safety skills.

Who are they for?
A child’s first learn to swim experience is one of the most important in terms of capturing and retaining their interest. We believe the best way to achieve this is to create safe environments in which children can be introduced to the water whilst having fun and by providing a progressive learn to swim programme that is both challenging and rewarding.

Next Steps
This series culminates with the STAnley Star award, which covers
all the skills in the 7 awards ensuring that the learner is competent
and confident in and around water.
