Level 3 — Stroke Correction

Building Confidence for Life

Focus: Stroke Technique • Efficiency • Breathing • Coordination • Endurance • Water Safety • Independence

Level 3 Goals

Level 3 is our Stroke Correction stage.

Swimmers entering this level already have the foundations of independent swimming. Our focus now shifts towards improving the quality and efficiency of their swimming.

Rather than simply asking swimmers to complete longer distances, teachers carefully observe and correct technique.

Throughout Level 3 we develop:

• Freestyle technique

• Efficient side breathing

• Body rotation

• Strong, controlled kicking

• Backstroke technique

• Breaststroke kick and timing

• Breaststroke coordination

• Butterfly foundations

• Dolphin kick and body movement

• Streamlining

• Turns

• Increased endurance

• Treading water

• Survival swimming

• Self-correction

• Confidence and independence

Technique Before Distance

Distance should only increase when the swimmer can maintain good technique.
