Course description
The swimmer has now learnt all four strokes and has been introduced to the two strokes used in lifesaving. The aim of this level is to develop the swimmer’s technique and increase the distance of the swimmer. At this level we encourage quality swimming over quantity swimming. The swimmer’s lifesaving skills continue teaching the swimmer the valuable non-contact lifeguarding skills.
