Ages 6 – 12 yr · The four competitive strokes
Stroke Development
Mastering freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly with proper breathing and technique - the foundation for a lifetime of confident swimming.
What This Program Builds
Once a child can swim a width independently, technique becomes everything. Our Stroke Development track breaks each of the four competitive strokes into teachable pieces and builds the endurance to swim a full lap without stopping.
Format: 30-minute lessons, once or twice weekly, small skill-matched groups. Swimmers advance stroke by stroke on our transparent level chart, not by age.
Level band: Sea Turtles → Blue Whales → Orcas
By The End, Swimmers Can
- Rhythmic side-breathing freestyle
- Backstroke with a steady body line
- Legal breaststroke kick and timing
- Introductory butterfly and endurance sets
What We Coach
Freestyle & Backstroke
Bilateral breathing, a high elbow catch, and a straight body line on the back.
Breaststroke & Fly
The trickiest strokes - taught with drills that isolate the kick, pull, and timing.
Endurance
Building from one lap to a continuous swim with turns, so lessons carry into open swim.
