I saw this torn, crumpled,certificate of sorts saying she has met the swim to survive standards from my daughters garbage bin and when confronted she was so dissapointed and crying said she hated doing this so called Swim to Survive. Me and my wife personally went to the first day when they did the swim to survive through their school and the ratio of lifeguards was overwhelmingly 4 lifeguards to three classes of 15-20 students per class, and done only in three sessions, one hour per session for three weeks. We have seen how they had a hard time handling 4-5 kids at a time, much less grade them as a pass or a fail. My daughter is in a swimming program in whitby and we know for a fact that she can swim the whole length of a pool. Kids do not deserve this kind of discouragement, specially in the things that they are working so hard to do and the things they love doing. The only thing I could do was tell her to ignore this and just focus on her actual swimming program. This is a very inaccurate way of grading a child in swimming, please do something about this.
