This beginning swimming level will work you on safe entries, exits and moving through the water. When ready you will do floats, glides and kicking on your front and back without assistance. You will even explore jumping into deep water and treading water with a PFD on. Fitness drills suitable for your skill level will increase your strength and endurance.
