PUDDLE DUCKS

This is the first level where children have no in-water support from the teacher - our teachers instruct and support from the poolside. We understand our swimmers might need support from elsewhere in the early days of this level, so buoyancy aids such as woggles might be used more, and the swims are shorter so as to build their confidence. We continue to develop their rolling style with a strong emphasis on maintaining alignment - this is essential for when we introduce more technical stroke work during Level 3 and subsequent levels.

We operate a 1:4 teacher to swimmer ratio.
