our swim levels
Turtle
Level 1:
Turtle has two stages, first teaching buoyancy, head immersion, kicking, and basic strokes, then developing unaided 2–5m front and back swimming, with instructors in the water supporting children throughout lessons for confidence building.
ray
Level 2:
Rays learn front crawl and backstroke fundamentals, including breathing in front crawl. Focus remains on propulsive kicking and defined strokes, with children taught alongside the wall to build confidence in the pool safely.
dolphin
Level 3:
Dolphin is for swimmers who can kick extremely well on both front and back. They are developing strong arm action in the front crawl and backstroke, and can demonstrate front crawl side breathing across one width of the pool.
Orca
Level 4:
For swimmers who can consistently demonstrate strong arm action, a propulsive kick, correct body position, and controlled breathing in front crawl and backstroke. They are also introduced to breaststroke legs, diving, and advanced submersion skills.
Shark
Level 5:
Designed for swimmers who now possess a strong technical foundation in front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke. They will also have been introduced to butterfly legs in level four. Swimmers should be able to perform all previously learned strokes to a strong, consistent standard overall.
Marlin
Level 6:
Swimmers who demonstrate strong technique in front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke. They will show early development of butterfly stroke. They should also understand stroke rules well and be capable of performing correct starts and finishes for each stroke with confidence consistently.
