Dolphin
Our top end of our program is our Dolphin children which is the next progression for those who are now swimming all four strokes proficiently. With a focus on strong technique, these children are also taught starts, turns and timed on distance swimming. As with all our programs, our team continue to assist our swimmers to improve the overall technique and efficiency of their stroke.
About Dolphin
There are three stages in our Dolphin level with each stage requiring increased distance and endurance from the swimmers. The drills and skills taught will ensure children are proficient in all four strokes and ‘squad ready’. Children will learn to read a pace clock, lane etiquette, diving and other basic requirements for squad swimming. We will increase the aerobic capacity, teach racing skills and incorporate dry land sessions for these swimmers as they progress through these levels always ensuring a proficient stroke is being maintained.
Class Duration
Dolphin 1 – 30 minutes
