A swimmer evaluation is a structured assessment conducted to determine a swimmer's current skill level and proficiency in the water. The evaluation helps place swimmers into appropriate swim levels based on their abilities, allowing for tailored instruction and skill development.

1. Basic Skills Assessment: The evaluation begins with a assessment of the swimmer's basic skills, such as floating, kicking, and submerging underwater. The instructor observes the swimmer's comfort level in the water and their ability to perform fundamental movements and techniques.
2. Stroke Proficiency: Next, the instructor assesses the swimmer's proficiency in various swim strokes, including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. The swimmer may be asked to swim a short distance using each stroke to demonstrate their technique, form, and efficiency in the water.
3. Water Safety Skills: The evaluation also includes an assessment of the swimmer's water safety skills, such as treading water, retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool, and floating on their back. These skills are essential for ensuring the swimmer's safety in the water and may be evaluated in both shallow and deep water.
4. Endurance and Stamina: The instructor evaluates the swimmer's endurance and stamina by observing their ability to swim continuously for a certain distance or duration without stopping. This assessment helps determine the swimmer's fitness level and readiness for more advanced training.
5. Comfort Level in Different Water Depths: The evaluation may involve assessing the swimmer's comfort level in different water depths, including shallow, waist-deep, and deep water. This helps identify any areas where the swimmer may need additional support or instruction to feel confident and safe in the water.
6. Communication and Feedback: Throughout the evaluation, the instructor communicates with the swimmer, providing feedback, encouragement, and guidance to help them perform their best. The instructor may also ask the swimmer questions about their swimming experience, goals, and any specific challenges they may be facing.
7. Placement and Recommendations: Based on the results of the evaluation, the instructor determines the swimmer's appropriate level or program placement. This may involve placing the swimmer in a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level class, or recommending specific areas for improvement or focus in their training.
