Since 1998, children have been required to swim underwater through a hole in a vertical sail during the diploma exam.

The National Council for Swim Safety has linked each level of swimming safety to a Swim ABC diploma. You meet the National Standard for Swim Safety when you have completed the full Swim ABC. Diplomas A and B are intermediate steps towards the complete Swim ABC.

Swimming Diploma A: You master skills for a swimming pool without attractions.
Swimming Diploma B: You master skills for a swimming pool with attractions, such as a (wildwater) slide, a wave pool, and a current.
