Custom Swimming Badges

Updated Aug 20, 2025

Custom swim badges are the perfect reward for passing different swim levels! They are easily sewn onto swim bags and clothing so that they can be displayed proudly. A prize also encourages kids to keep at it and strive for greatness by completing all the levels. Especially if an upcoming badge is their favourite colour or animal. Our custom patch process allows us to make a wide variety of designs to suit the needs of your swimming program. We also offer custom stickers, because everyone loves to get a sticker (even those who won’t admit it aloud). 

If you’re looking for simplicity and uniformity, we can design a singular design with multiple colour variants for you! This gives your badges a sleek appearance and helps your program stand out more easily – students will be able to recognize your badges on other students’ backpacks and become friends. We can include the title of your program or the facility you work out of, so your badges act as both reward and advertisement, bringing in new customers as students show off their hard-earned badges. 

Alternatively, you can have a different design for each level, such as a different fish that gradually increases in swimming skill. We have an excellent team of designers to suit your patch needs. You could even include a moose as one of your levels, because of their ability to dive sixteen feet underwater! Get creative with your skill badges to encourage students to earn all of their badges. 

For a super unique product, combine both the unique designs and progressing colours! These colourful and quirky designs will make your swimming lessons stand out, encouraging children to attend courses to earn their favourite badges and show off to their friends. By combining both colour and design, you can offer a unique program that caters to motivating students to progress through the levels, rather than just the utility of swimming lessons. Children can then show off the badges they have earned to their peers, who will go on to ask their parents if they can earn the same badges. This broadens your customer base and helps more kids learn a necessary skill!
 
Why not have multiple versions of the same design? By offering different colours, you can give your students the ability to choose their favourite and encourage them to have a complete collection. This motivates them to progress in swimming lessons, which in turn encourages them to work harder and earn every badge. 

Consider an additional design for swim instructors and volunteers – a little recognition of hard work goes a long way. This design could feature multiple colours or variations, or preserve a sense of uniformity, saving the broader, unique variations for the students. Patches also serve to differentiate swim instructors from students, indicating to others their high skill level in the event of an emergency.
