PUDDLE DUCKS

Our level 4 swimmers have a good level of confidence in their own ability. 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 4 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.
