Once swimmers have mastered the basics and can breathe quickly and effortlessly without dropping their feet to the floor, it’s time to learn the first two of the four Olympic strokes. Our Coordination level introduces Front and Back Crawl, strengthening the swimmers ability to coordinate the movement of their arms, legs, and breathing. They are taught patience and control with every stroke made, creating efficiency in getting from one end of the pool to the other.

In Detail, swimmers focus on the finer details of the Front and Back Crawl strokes. A faster pace and side breathing is introduced and challenges the swimmer to maintain control. To make this level further challenging, Breast Stroke and Butterfly kick is learned. The swimmer is learning to move their legs and flex their feet properly to tread and keep their head above water.

In Efficient, swimmers learn Breast Stroke pull and timing. Understanding each element of the stroke is dire to successfully and efficiently completing Breast Stroke. The swimmer is also controlled enough in their movements to learn and apply the real Front Crawl technique. The arms are introduced to the idea of treading water, challenging the swimmer’s coordination in keeping their head above water

In Endurance, the swimmer finally learns the timing and coordination behind Butterfly. Though, the focus of the entire level is to master the basics of each stroke’s technique. The swimmer learns to apply the start, glide, and transition to each stroke. An efficient stroke allows the swimmer to build their endurance, allowing them to swim faster and longer with ease and control. Swimmers learn how to optimize their Front and Back Crawl, Breaststroke, and Butterfly stroke mechanics to reduce drag and increase propulsion.
