Summary of the
six levels
Non Swimmer - Level 1 & 2
For those with no previous experience of swimming to the
new water environment, developing confidence and being at
ease in the water. Achieved through informal play, involving
moving around freely, submerging and opening the eyes, floating,
and using the arms and legs to achieve a simple form of
travel, both on the front and back.
Beginner - Level 3 & 4
The emphasis is on building a sound foundation in those
aspects of “watermanship” which will later underpin
the performance of sound swimming technique. Becoming completely
“at home” on and under the water, developing
control in water breathing and learning Front Crawl, Breast
Stroke and Back Stroke.
Improver 1 - Level 5 & 6
The focus is on using the main swimming strokes with a continuing
emphasis on the importance of good streamlining and breathing
control – over a minimum of 10 metres. Also introducing
aquatic skills such as sculling, treading water and swimming
underwater.
Improver 2 - Level 7 & 8
The aim is essentially to consolidate aquatic skills along
with controlled breathing, so that pupils can swim competently,
using correct basic techniques on three of the main strokes
over 25 metres and on Butterfly over 10 metres. In addition,
turns and practices for diving are introduced.
Advanced 1 - Level 9 & 10
While developing more efficient swimming, this level also
consolidates associated aquatic disciplines, synchronized
swimming, water polo and diving as well as promoting expertise
in personal water safety and survival swimming. From this
stage, pupils with interest and enthusiasm will be ready
to move on to participate across the range of swimming and
aquatic sports with a solid foundation.
Advanced 2 - Level 11 & 12
As well as the further development of the main swimming
strokes, this category acts as an introduction to the early
stages of training in competitive swimming. The development
of both basic aerobic endurance and of swimming speed is
integrated within the program.
