Diploma A






For the past 2 years Noah has been going to swimming lessons every week at the NIS .
In the Dutch swim system you can first get your swim proficiency certificate. If you get that you can further develop your swim skills by getting diploma A,B and C.

Last Saturday Noah was tested for Diploma A and ......he made it! It was not easy, but he did great. There were 10 kids to do the test and he was one of the youngest ones.
Some of the requirements were : swimming fully dressed 1 laps of breast stroke and 1 lap of back stroke, 2 laps of breast stroke, 2 laps of elementary back stroke, 1 lap of freestyle , 1 lap of back crawl, 1 minute water treading, diving from starting block and underwater swimming for 10 mtrs.

Well done Noah!
