LEVELS
Tadpole
This is the entry level of our school age program. Teachers focus on the
children developing confidence in the water. Children in these
classes develop their water safety skills until they can kick continuously
and unassisted for 15m and can swim 10m independently.
The
lessons are 30 min long and have 4 children scheduled into each class.
Goldfish
Entry pre-requisite for this class is the ability to swim 10m of freestyle
and backstroke, independently. Swimmers will continue to develop these
strokes, further refining their skills and technique in freestyle and
backstroke. Children remain in this group until
they are able to swim 25m
freestyle and 25m backstroke with
correct technique. The lessons are 30 min long and
have a maximum of 5 children scheduled into each class.
Snapper
Swimmers can enter this level once they have developed correct technique and
can swim 25m of freestyle and backstroke.
Swimmers will begin learning
breaststroke and improving their strength and stamina in the freestyle and
backstroke. Lessons are
30 min long and have up to 6 scheduled in each class.
Advanced Learn To Swim
These classes involve one 40
min session per week. Children will be
introduced to swimming in a small squad and will develop their freestyle,
backstroke and breaststroke as well as begin to learn butterfly. Swimmers
are expected to bring their own flippers to each session. These classes have
up to ten scheduled in each session.
Pre Squad
This is the first step in squad training. Children will learn how to operate
in a squad environment and developing the skills required for training (e.g.
following a pace clock, turns etc).
The children will aim to develop strength and endurance in all
strokes.
Squad
Once a child reaches this level they are assessed and placed into our squad
program. Please visit our Squad training pages for further details.
