Stage 5&6: Stroke Development/Mechanic

Stage 5 and 6:

Stroke Development - Introduces breast-stroke and butterfly and reinforces water safety through treading water and sidestroke.

Stroke Mechanics - Refines stroke technique on all major competitive strokes and encourages swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle. Swim Strokes - Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity. In Stroke Introduction, Stroke Development and Stroke Mechanics, swimmers are introduced to the four competitive swimming strokes as well as rescue skills and healthy lifestyle habits.
