Every level from Starfish to Gold comes with a clear roadmap so you know exactly what skill you are mastering next. We follow a structured, AUSTSWIM-certified curriculum to help you track your progress. For the kids, it starts with Tadpole for the 1 to 4-year-olds where we focus on water confidence. Then it is on to Starfish and Turtle for the beginners, where you learn floating and basic mechanics. Once you reach Frog and Dolphin levels, you are refining your strokes, and by the time you hit Shark and All Star, you are diving deep into technical excellence. Finally, there is the Marlin level, our competitive squad where we train for state and national meets. For adults, the journey is just as rewarding. You start at the Bronze level as a beginner, moving to Silver when you master freestyle and backstroke, and hitting Gold once you have all four strokes down. We even have the Jellyfish level for open water swimmers. Each milestone earns you a certificate, keeping the motivation high until you reach that next goal. It makes the hard work feel like a continuous, fun achievement. ## About Nisha Millet Swimming Academy Hi, I’m Nisha.
