Level 2 - Water Movement
Level 2: Building Confidence and Control in the Water
In Level 2, students develop greater body control and coordination in the water. The focus is on improving body position, changing direction, and moving forward independently, while also continuing to practice safe water exits in case of an accidental fall.
Children entering Level 2 should already be comfortable getting their faces wet, including:
- Blowing bubbles in the water
- Submerging their face partially or fully
- Feeling relaxed and confident in the water
These foundational skills help swimmers progress toward floating, gliding, and eventually swimming on their own.
