Learn-to-Swim levels
Level 1
Beginner
This is the first level in the Aquafanatics learn-to-swim program. The focus is on building greater confidence in the water, through gentle and safe submersions, floating and teaching children to swim and float on their backs, unaided. This might be the first time your child swims without you or a carer present and they may be a little nervous, but the friendly teachers will gently support your child to feel safer and more confident in the water.
(Equivalent to level 1 Department of Education)
Advanced
When children join level 1 advanced, they are more confident and comfortable in the water. This level encourages younger kids to learn the foundations of swimming techniques, such as overarm freestyle swimming, and learning to kick on their backs. They will learn basic water safety practices.
(Equivalent to level 2 Department of Education)
Level 2
Beginner
In this level the kids will learn to swim freestyle with breathing and backstroke with a basic arm action. They will learn to recover objects from the bottom of the pool and how to tread water and signal for help if in difficulty.
(Equivalent to level 3 Department of Education)
Advanced
Along with continuing to develop freestyle and backstroke techniques, in level 2 advanced, breaststroke and butterfly kicking will be taught. They will learn how to roll in the water as a foundation to performing racing turns. More advanced water safety skills will be introduced. You will be amazed at how much your child will learn as they move through this level.
(Equivalent to level 4 Department of Education)
Level 3
Beginner
In this level, your child will master the proper freestyle breathing technique, develop backstroke arm movements, and get introduced to the basics of breaststroke and butterfly. This level also introduces freestyle and backstroke tumble turns.
(Equivalent to level 5 Department of Education)
Advanced
(Equivalent to level 6 Department of Education)
Level 4
Beginner
In this level, your child will build on the freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke techniques learned in Level 3, with a full introduction to butterfly. The focus will be on refining these strokes and improving overall technique.
(Equivalent to level 7 Department of Education)
Advanced
In this level, the classes will also emphasise developing key racing skills, including starts, turns, and finishes. Additionally, side stroke will be taught to further enhance water safety skills.
(Equivalent to level 8 Department of Education)
Level 5
At this stage, children are prepared to perfect all four competitive strokes and learn advanced racing techniques. Sessions become more intense, with increased distance and focus, as swimmers get ready to transition into our Mini-Squad programme.
Upon completing Level 5, swimmers will be well-prepared to advance to the Mini-Squad.
(Equivalent to level 9+ Department of Education)
