Diploma requirements
New diplomas
Since 2022, the ENVOZ has combined the animal series ABC and the survival ABC into one diploma, so that it fits the modern way of swimming. For the animal series there is an addition of some survival exercises and for the survival series it is a refinement of the diploma. The goal and the means to achieve the goal have been separated. This makes it possible to make swimming lessons more varied and therefore more fun to achieve the same goal.
