Squad Levels

A group of children are swimming in a swimming pool.

Transition


(50 MIN) - Once students have mastered the skills in our Learn to Swim program, they are ready for Transition. In this class, swimmers continue their swimming journey by learning additional strokes such as backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly, while strengthening and refining the skills they already know. Students also begin to explore how these strokes support water safety and survival, including conserving energy, staying afloat, and moving confidently through the water.

The instructor remains in the water to provide hands on guidance, feedback and correction.

Mini Squad


(1 HOUR) -  Mini Squad focuses on developing strong, efficient technique across all four strokes, supported by a wide range of drills that reinforce solid swimming fundamentals. This squad also places a strong emphasis on swimming for survival, fitness, and lifelong confidence. Swimmers learn how their skills can help them stay safe, conserve energy, and remain strong in all types of water situations. It’s about building the kind of capability that empowers them not just as athletes, but as people who can rely on their skills whenever they need them. This is the final step before joining our competitive swimming squads. Mini Squad helps swimmers grow into confident, capable individuals who can move powerfully and safely through the water, developing skills that support them for life.

Swimmers are required to bring their own fins/flippers
