B-T AQUATICS AWARDS

Walk the Plank - Seven Seas Challenge - Captain's License Test - Mutual of Omaha B-T 500

FACE-UP FAST Backstroke Award - Swim the List

 

Swimming Challenges:  Everyone is eligible to earn the awards listed below.  There are no age requirements.  You do not have to be a member of B-T Aquatics or any swim team.  Children and adults are welcome and encouraged to participate.  The Seven Seas Endurance Challenge, Captain's License, and Walk the Plank testing and certificates are free - swimmers are subject to regular open swim admission fee.  There is a $10 fee for the Mutual of Omaha B-T 500 to receive the medal and t-shirt.  Earn them all!  Contact the pool to schedule your tests. 

 

Attention Parents:  These tests are fun, challenging, and rewarding to do and are good tools for you to assess your child's swimming ability.   However, it is important to remember that a certificate hanging on the wall won’t keep your child safe.  Children require constant supervision in and around the water, and you need to reassess swimming ability every time your child enters the water.
