The coach's recommendation stems from outside factors rather than just what the child can achieve in the water. It is based around attendance, effort, coachability, etc. Each Child that is moved will have a trial week in the new group he or she has transferred into. If the coach in the new group finds your child is not prepared to handle the advancement, then the child will return to his or her original group. If a child is moved back into his or her original group, they will wait 2 weeks before they can have another trial week.
