Frequently Asked Questions About the SwimSafer Test

A. What if my child is late for the practical session?

Please try not to be late for the practical test as it makes the child nervous and might affect his/her overall performance. The assessment will go on according to the time allocated and if your child arrives too late for his/her slot, he/she will not be able to attend and will be marked as failed. No refunds or retests will be entertained for late-comers.

B.  What if I forget about the session and my child doesn’t show up? Can I schedule for another session or a refund?

Unfortunately, once your child’s name is submitted to the association, there will strictly be no rescheduling or refunds entertained. Should your child miss the test, it will be considered as such and he/she will have to retake the same level (together with the new level, if he/she qualifies for it) on another day.

C.  What if my child is sick on the day of the practical test?

If your child unfortunately falls sick on the day of the practical test, we will require a medical certificate for the exact day to be submitted. The certificate will be submitted to the association for consideration for a retest. Do note that there will be no refunds of fees for such situations and all decisions will be made by the association.

D. What if I forget my child’s clothing?

As all these are important items to assess your child’s ability during the test, the child will be deemed as failed if they do not have the items with them. Hence, please help our children to ensure that they have everything with them on the day.

E. Who is the tester?

Coach Nian, along with some of our usual coaches, will be the testers. There will also be an assessor being allocated to each of the sessions to ensure that it is carried out fairly and as impartial as possible. This is also the reason why it will be difficult for us to “close one eye” for lateness, absenteeism and/or forgetting to bring items.

F. How long is each test?

Each SwimSafer practical test lasts from 30 minutes to 60 minutes subjected to the number of participants and levels.

G. What happens if it rains during the test?

The assessment will continue to run if there is no lightning alert. In the event of a lightning alert, the test will be put on hold for at least 30 minutes until the lightning alert ceases, in which case the session will continue. In the unlucky event of prolonged bad weather, there is a possibility that the test will be postponed to another day. If that happens, we will keep all parents informed and updated.
