SwimSafe Levels
LEVEL 1 For
cautious beginners ie no under yet
Your
child will learn how to safely enter and exit the pool.
Various activities will be played to make your child
comfortable with moving in the water, moving onto
voluntary submersion. Most if not all will end the
season floating and hopefully regaining their feet.
LEVEL 2 For
beginners who are under, maybe floating, doing arm
actions.
This is a very busy level with a lot
to learn. Your child will learn to float on front and back and
regain feet, glide on front and back, freestyle arm action,
sculling and rigid aid assistance. They will need to do these
things well to learn other aquatic skills. This level is the
foundation for great swimming.
LEVEL 3 For the
child to learn to breathe, beginner breast stroke arms and
legs.
Level 3 is where your child could spend
both ends of the season as learning to breathe properly and
effectively can take a while to achieve. The children also
have to achieve the rudiments of breast stroke legs and arms
to be able to achieve in the next levels.
LEVEL 4 For the
child to get fine tuning of breast and start distance
swimming.
Your child will swim three strokes
the distance of 25 m and start to realise good technique is
essential to be able to swim a lot of lengths. They will learn
survival backstroke and individual survival initiatives.
LEVEL 5 Last group
of Lts. Increased distances, survival stepped
up.
They will learn sidestroke. Build up
their stamina which will make them breath properly, as they
wont complete the distances if their technique is
bad. | .jpg){kind=logo}
