Distance Award

The Distance Award was a diploma given out to students of Smeltings Academy who achieved to swim for a set distance.

Swimming examiner Joyce Haddock presented Dudley Dursley with such an award for swimming five metres, or, the length of a quarter of the pool.

Behind the scenes

 * Due to the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone having been shot in 2001, this certificate of course reads 2001, which goes against the dating conventions that place the events depicted in the films in the 1990s. This is one of the many mistakes present in the films.
