PUDDLE DUCKS

Our Level 4 swimmers have a good level of confidence in their own ability and this allows our teachers to use the teaching space in different ways, getting longer and longer swims out of the group. Together with working towards developing a strong front crawl stroke, with good style, fluidity and grace, for a swim over 25m and also 50m, we also see these swimmers providing strong swims in backstroke, with great alignment in the water, supported by a strong kick and regular arm movements. A sound basic breaststroke should also be achieved, as well as a convincing butterfly kick. In addition to advanced sculling, surface diving and water safety skills Level Four swimmers show a confidence and competency in the water that will provide them with a solid foundation for moving into Elite Swim Academy where strokes will be further developed with more focus on technical details.
