Grade 5


Description
Completely confident and competent swimming in any depth for any length.
In this last grade of Learn-to-swim the focus will be organised flutter kicking without pulls, using lateral breath recovery, and swimming full distances on their back. These fundamentals and the focus on making them as panic-proofed as possible will make stroke technique much easier to master in STROKE SCHOOL.
