It introduces floats and glides, basic kicking and builds to a 5-metre swim with face in. Note, older children with no swimming experience may prefer private lessons until they are able to join group classes within a common age group.
SWIM KIDS LEVEL 2
A second orientation level helping children build their skills for front and back swims. Swimmers are introduced to deep water activities and proper use of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Endurance is built on basic flutter kicking, roll over glides and a 10-metre swim.

SWIM KIDS LEVEL 4
The front crawl, back glide and shoulder roll for back crawl are further developed in this level. Swimmers work on kneeling dives, surface support and developing a greater sense of self-safety. Endurance is developed through a front/side combo drill and a 25-metre swim.
SWIM KIDS LEVEL 5
Back crawl is introduced, along with sculling skills and whip kick on the back. Children try stride dives and receive an introduction to safe boating skills. Endurance is developed through the dolphin kick and a 50-metre swim. Front crawl breathing continues to be refined.

SWIM KIDS LEVEL 9
Front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke and breaststroke continue to be refined. In this level children are encouraged to try combining different strokes and kicks for fitness.
