This level is designed for swimmers who are inexperienced, hesitant, or unsure in the water. The focus is not on swimming independently yet — it’s on comfort, trust, and foundational skills that make everything else possible.

Strong foundations here set your swimmer up for success in every level that follows.

In Level 1, swimmers begin learning to:

• Comfortably put their face in the water

• Hold their breath underwater

• Blow bubbles through the nose

• Float on their front and back with support

• Kick and scoop with help

• Enter and exit the pool safely

This level focuses on trusting the water and the process, not speed or distance.

👉 Outcome: Build comfort, confidence, and foundational skills in the water.

Level 2 is where swimmers begin to move independently in the water.

This level builds on the comfort and foundations established in Level 1 and introduces independent swimming skills on both the front and back. While assistance may still be used at times, the goal is to help swimmers begin trusting their own movement and ability.

In Level 2, swimmers are learning to:

• Swim independently on their front and back for short distances
• Reach the pool wall safely by jumping in, turning, and reorienting themselves in the water
• Combine kicks and arm movements more consistently
• Build confidence moving without constant support

This is where many swimmers realize: “I can do this.” 

👉 Outcome: Your child begins to swim independently.

Level 3 is where swimmers truly begin to put skills together.

In Level 3, swimmers are no longer just learning what to do in the water — they’re learning how to do it consistently, with breathing, body position, and movement working together.

By the end of Level 3, swimmers are learning to:

• Swim freestyle and backstroke independently 

• Use flip-to-breathe movements instead of stopping to breathe

• Coordinate arms, kicks, and breathing together

• Swim farther than short assisted distances with control

• Begin learning breaststroke arms and whip kicks

This is where swimming starts to look and feel like real swimming — not just floating, kicking, or surviving.

👉 Outcome: Build strength, coordination, and longer swimming ability.

Level 4 is where swimmers begin to stretch their skills and build real swimming endurance.

In Level 4, you’ll continue teaching through short, focused lessons that cycle and repeat — but the expectations increase. Distances get longer, skills require more stamina, and swimmers begin putting movements together in more intentional ways.

By the end of Level 4, swimmers are learning to:

• Swim longer distances in freestyle and backstroke

• Maintain breathing and rhythm while swimming farther

• Use streamline positions to move more efficiently

• Perform whip kicks with control

• Coordinate breaststroke arms and breathing over distance

This level is not meant to be easy — and that’s exactly why it matters.

👉 Outcome: Refine technique and build strong, confident swimmers.
