Essential knowledge to prevent accidents, minimize panic, and react safely in aquatic emergencies. This foundational skill covers safe entry/exit, pool awareness, and controlled water breathing.
A crucial survival skill allowing swimmers to stay afloat vertically without moving horizontally. Students learn efficient leg movements (like the eggbeater kick) and subtle hand sculling to conserve energy and keep the head above water.
A fundamental resting position allowing easy breathing. Students master body alignment to float comfortably on their back, conserving energy and reducing fatigue.
An efficient stroke primarily used for rescue swimming or sustained travel. Students learn to swim on their side, coordinating a powerful scissor kick with an alternating arm pull for smooth propulsion.
A competitive stroke performed on the back, ideal for beginners as it allows for continuous, easy breathing without lifting the head. Students master the alternating arm rotation and steady flutter kick for efficient movement.
Often called the "frog style," this is a popular recreational stroke. Students master the synchronized arm pull (sweeping outward and inward) and powerful whip kick, allowing for good visibility and easy breathing with the head often above water.
The fastest and most efficient competitive stroke. Students learn complex coordination of a rapid flutter kick, alternating arm pulls (over and under water), and rotational breathing for sustained speed and endurance.
