How it works

The Seahorse Badge helps you be safe in the water and have fun swimming. You'll learn basic swimming techniques and understand how to behave safely in the water.
Imagine how cool it is to swim around in the water, play with friends, and have great adventures! With the Seahorse Badge, you can do all that and be ready for new swimming adventures.
The Seahorse test is exciting, but you don't have to be afraid. You need to swim 25 meters, jump from the edge of the pool, and retrieve a ring from shoulder-deep water. You'll also learn the swimming rules so you know how to behave safely in the water.
Imagine you're a frog! Bend your knees and kick your legs back powerfully to swim forward. Stretch your arms forward and then pull them back in a circular motion towards your body. This helps you move forward.
Jump into the water: Count to three, jump in with a big leap, and dive in like a brave swimming hero! Practice jumping to prepare yourself.
Now there's a treasure hunt. But the treasure is underwater. Drop a ring into the water and dive down to collect it. You can practice this with your parents or friends in shallow water. You need to dive and retrieve the item. It's like a real treasure hunt!
If you're afraid to go into the water or learn to swim, talk to an adult or a swimming instructor. They will help you feel safe and comfortable in the water. Believe in yourself, practice hard, and enjoy swimming. You can do it, little swimming hero!
