Pre-School

Learners begin moving independently in the water with gently diminishing support from an adult. This stage includes skills like safely entering and exiting the pool, floating on their back, blowing bubbles, and moving a short distance with or without assistance.

At this stage, swimmers practice sitting entries and log-roll rotations, slowly moving toward more self-reliance. They’ll confidently submerge the face, blow objects across the water, and travel along the pool’s edge unaided.

Now learners can jump in under supervision and float without help. They’ll practice pushing off in a streamlined position, blowing bubbles underwater, and independently swimming a short distance to the pool side.

At this final stage, swimmers jump in confidently, perform star or mushroom floats, and execute 360° rolls and streamlined glides. They can swim 10 metres unaided, and jump in, swim back to the edge, then climb out, demonstrating solid independence at the water’s edge.
