A swimming certificate template gives a swim school a ready layout for the end of a term or season. Learn to Swim programs, leisure centers, school PE teams and swim clubs hand one out when a child passes a level, reaches a personal best or finishes the season with the team.
A good one names the swimmer, says what was achieved, such as passing Level 3 or swimming a first 25 meters, and carries the date and the coach's signature. You can give a printed award on pool side and email the same one to the family, who can share it.

At the end of each level, when the child has shown every skill the level requires. Giving one each time keeps children motivated and tells parents what their child can do now.
It is an award for effort or progress rather than a win, such as most improved swimmer, best attitude or a personal best. Clubs often give one at the season-end party.
