Ribbon Levels & Awards
Levels & Awards at Splash
Ribbons are achievement awards presented to our students. They signify the successful accomplishment of very specific skills and are a measure of a student’s progress through our program. Instructors may award ribbons at any time the student demonstrates mastery of all skills listed for that particular ribbon level.
