For swimmers who can float and glide on their stomach and back. Held in a 25m pool with a depth of 1.0m, this class focuses on learning front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke. You’ll refine your technique and master breathing skills, with an introduction to deep water towards the end of the course to prepare for the advanced level.
