About this template
Swim schools, clubs and coaches reach for designs like this one when they want to celebrate a goal that has been reached: a fun 25 Metres Swim Certificate that looks as good in a frame as it does in a folder. With pennant flags and Corben headings, it has a playful feel, while the Mint Tile palette keeps the colours fresh.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
In recognition of [Name]’s achievement on [Date]. Proof that persistence pays off.
With congratulations to [Name] for reaching [Milestone], a first for [Organisation].
Awarded to [Name] for exceeding expectations in [Project or subject]. Your effort made the difference.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the stroke, start and finish fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Choose A4, US Letter or A3, in landscape or portrait, and the layout rearranges itself to fit. Colours are yours to change: try Pool Tile, or match your own brand colours. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
