Our aim in this class is to develop a horizontal body position required for Freestyle. This is achieved by focusing on streamlining, face under the water, kicking with feet together in the correct position. Freestyle breathing techniques are also taught, along with backfloating and backstroke. Children learn to participate as a group and follow instructions. When they are able to Freestyle 25 metres independently, they will move to the Stroke Development Basic class.
