Stage 1 ‘watervrij’

For the very beginner. Stage 1 children are usually unconfident beginners who may be reluctant to put their face in the water. Swimmers will learn confidence skills with the aim of progressing to unaided swimming over short distances with kicking legs,  as well as assisted floating on the front and back. Gradually the children gain more confident so the will work towards swimming further distance independently as well as floating on their front and back.

Stage 2 ‘Elementair 1’

Children are now able to  move in and out the water independently and will start working on full strokes as front crawl and back crawl.  Additionally the children will learn the first basics on back and front stroke. This is all combined with survival skills, wrapped up in games and doing it playful.

 

 

 Stage 3 ‘Elementair 2’

The elementair 2 swimmer has  good  crawl and stroke  technique both on front and back and  focuses towards making their ‘good’ stroke better. The water is deeper at this stage, the children cannot reach the ground. Therefore the children will be able to water tread and diving.

By further refine and refine and tweak stroke technique for all four strokes , the children gain more stamina and will be able to swim longer distances.

Diploma A level

Once stage 1 to 3 are completed,  swimmers will get prepared for the diploma curriculum. While heading the A diploma test, the children are able to hold good form over distances longer distances. This is partly with clothes on.
