Green-Fields Swim Club Band Testing
Testing Explanation
Green-Fields Swim Club use “Bands” as a way to identify a club member’s or guest’s swimming ability.
Our lifeguards use the band to make sure all swimmers are in the appropriate swimming area. We use the “Bands” to keep our members safe.
Only one band will be worn as earned. The Manager, Assistant Manager, or their designee may replace lost bands for a $1 charge.
Black Band
The Black Band test consists of swimming one length of the main pool in a freestyle stroke with arms recovering over the water and demonstrating the correct breathing methods plus treading water for one minute.
Note: Black banded swimmers are not permitted in the diving area.
Green Band
The Green Band test consists of swimming two lengths of the main pool in a freestyle stroke with arms recovering over the water and demonstrating the correct breathing methods plus treading water for three minutes.
Note: Green banded swimmers must also meet a height requirement to use the high dive.
Guest Bands
All Guests that are under the age of 12, regardless of band skills completed from another swim club, must pass and perform requirements of Green-Fields Swim Club band colors tests to be allowed to swim in specific aquatic areas of our club.
