Pupils repeatedly demonstrate front-crawl and back-stroke with established body position with timing in each stroke in deep water over 15m; introduction of breast-stroke arms to combine with kicking; focus on the basic bio-mechanics of all three strokes, plus diving.
Level IV
Advanced drills and bio-mechanics in front-crawl, back-stroke (body rotation) and breast-stroke to improve stroke efficiency and stamina over 20m; introduction of the butterfly kick and tumble-turns, plus continued diving practice.
