Stage 1

Swimming Fundamentals

Stage 2

Swimming Skills

Stage 3

Swimming Techniques

For Beginners Tadpole, Starfish, Clown Fish & Penguins.

These fundamental skills will act as building blocks for every swimmer’s development. The swimming exercise classes will be fun-orientated and aiming to build water confidence. Examples of movements are floating, kicking, the introduction of breathing, feel for the water, and rotation.

Tadpole and Starfish have a max of 3 children per class.

Clown Fish and Penguin have a max of 4 per class.

Stage 2

Swimming Skills

For Octopus, Turtle & Sting Ray.

This stage enhances the swimming exercise skills taught in step 1 while introducing new ones. This is the most important stage in all swimming programs because it aims to learn front crawl and backstroke techniques. By the end of these swimming exercise classes, swimmers should have learned how to balance themselves in the water, rotate and engage in bilateral breathing. Breaststroke kick is introduced towards the end of the stage.

Octopus & Turtle classes last 30 minutes with a maximum of 4 swimmers.

Sting Ray classes last 45 minutes with a maximum of 6 swimmers.

Stage 3

Swimming Techniques

For Stroke Development Seal, Dolphin.

This swimming exercise stage is to advance in the techniques of all four strokes; the butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and front crawl strokes. At this level, swimmers will also learn competitive fundamentals, including starts, turns, and finishes.

This level is suitable for any pre-teen swimmer who wants to keep swimming but does not want to compete.

Classes have 6, 8, or 10 swimmers and run for 45-60 minutes.
