To think DD should get swim badges more often?

DD6 started swim lessons 2 years ago. In the first 6 months the badges were frequent. However in the last 18 months she's only received 2 and it's nearly a year since her last one (5m). She can competently swim 10m and the lessons advertise that they work through skills badges alongside distance awards. AIBU to think a 6 year old needs badges more often to keep motivated? She's rapidly loosing interest in her lessons despite making good progress. I know if she felt she was working towards a badge she would be more enthusiastic.

it sounds like she can swim though - does she need to continue?

Yes, there's still lots for her to learn and it used to be something she loved. I hope she'll start enjoying it again.
