bronze swimming badge

I would say that this is more a "badge" than a "certificate" (all depends on what people actually get awarded, of course, but "badges" are common in many types of sport).
Peer comment(s):

agree Ingeborg Gowans (X) : yes, it is indeed a badge which you can sew on your swimming suit. done here in Canada anyway

agree Languageman : Just beat me to it! Officially "Swimming Challenge Bronze Pin Badge" according to the ASA website, but what you said in a looser context. They've been "swimming badges" at least since I got my first one all those years ago! http://tinyurl.com/lb9kpb
