In this class children swim independently freestyle and backstroke for 30 metres, and dive into the water unaided.  Bi-lateral breathing for freestyle is introduced now, along with breaststroke kick, and the child needs to be able to carry out the correct technique for breaststroke kick before upgrading to the next level.

Dolphins
In this class children swim independently freestyle and backstroke for 60 metres using good technique.  We now see the introduction of the arms for breaststroke, and the child becoming confident at swimming 15 metres of breaststroke, using the correct pull & timing.  They are also introduced to butterfly, with the aid of flippers.  The children are taught freestyle and backstroke tumble turns.

Squad 1
In this class children carry out correct kicking in all four swimming strokes.    They can swim freestyle and backstroke confidently for 120 metres, and swim breaststroke correctly for 60 metres.  They will be learning swimming drills in all four strokes, and be competent at diving and tumble turns.  Technique is still a major factor in this squad.

Squad 2
This class prepares young swimmers for club level training.  It is a high intensity squad, working endurance whilst maintaining good technique.  This squad is designed for the swimmer who wishes to maintain their swimming skills and is not interested in becoming a club member involved in competitive swimming.  Young’s Swim School recommends the Woden Swim Club for those swimmers who aspire to competitive swimming or who wish to further their proficiency and fitness.
