Overview
Teen & Adult 1 (13+ years) is designed for those new to swimming or looking to improve foundational skills. This level includes entering and exiting shallow water, jumping into deep water and returning, and performing sideways entries while wearing a PFD. Participants will practice treading water for 30 seconds with a PFD, holding their breath underwater for 5-10 seconds, and submerging and exhaling multiple times. They will also open their eyes underwater, recover objects from chest-deep water, and perform various floating, rolling, and gliding techniques. Skills include flutter kicking on the front, back, and side, and performing a vertical whip kick. Swimmers will cover 10-15 meters of front crawl or back crawl and engage in interval training with flutter kicks. WaterSmart® messages are integrated to promote essential safety practices.
