In Level 1, students develop confidence and comfort in the water while learning essential safety skills. This introductory level focuses on water adjustment, basic floating, breath control, and safe entry and exit techniques.

Swimmers gain the foundational skills and confidence needed to progress toward independent swimming and lifelong enjoyment of the water.

Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.

In Level 2, students build on their foundation by developing better body position and control while moving forward through the water. They continue to strengthen key safety skills, including back floating and treading, to become more confident and independent swimmers.

In Level 3, students learn how to swim safely to the edge from longer distances, building endurance and confidence in the water. Level 3 also introduces rhythmic breathing and coordinated arm and leg movements, helping swimmers develop a more efficient and consistent stroke.

In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.
