Advanced courses

The participants will develop diversity within swimming during these courses. In the Advanced courses, the children will practice the use of proper technique in all four strokes, while also learning how to do start dives, a backstroke start and turns. The participants will also learn how lifesaving is done, keeping both themselves and others safe.

We try to keep the transitions from each level as natural as possible. The levels build on the skills from the previous ones, and as you reach higher levels, all the things you learn will be combined. To make sure the participant masters all exercises, the goals for each level is the requirements for the next.
