Let us help your child become a confident swimmer!
What does it mean to be a “swimmer”?
There is no guarantee that everyone will be safe in the water at all times, but there are some general skills all “swimmers” should have. A “swimmer” should successfully be able to:
- Swim a front crawl with rotary breathing for 25 yards
- Swim on your back with a finning arm action and flutter kick or backcrawl for 25 yards
- Jump or dive into deep water
- Tread water in deep water for one minute
- Back float in deep water for one minute
- Change swim positions from front to back and back to front in deep water
How to become a “swimmer”
Passing Levels 1-4 will give a swimmer most of these skills. Levels 5-7 will continue to work on all of the basic strokes, introduce the breaststroke, butterfly, and work on distance swimming!
