Every pool issuing diplomas is audited at least once a year. If the pool does not comply, it is not allowed to conduct A, B or C exams until the shortcomings are resolved. This guarantees parents that a <a href=\"https:\/\/zwemclubabc.nl\/en\/swimming-lessons-in-amsterdam\/swimming-lessons-for-children\/\">swimming lessons programme for children<\/a> provides the same basic security in Amsterdam as in Groningen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audit: what does the NRZ audit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instructor competence (diploma + refresher training)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group size \u2264 1 : 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water quality log (chlorine 0.5-1.5 mg\/L, pH 6.8-7.6)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presence of rescue equipment and AED &lt; 100 m<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diploma A - anhydrous &amp; basic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>50m breaststroke<\/strong> with smooth breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25m backstroke<\/strong> with head still and toes up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Looking underwater<\/strong> - through a hoop 3 m away<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jump from the side<\/strong> and swim back independently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to get A faster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two lessons a week speed up the course by about 30%.
