Questions families ask

Every swimmer starts with a level check: a short swim of each stroke while a coach watches. The coach suggests a level, and the swimmer and parent decide together.

One evening and one focus: a stroke, a start or a turn. Coaches teach it from the deck and in the water, and swimmers practice it in short sets.

Yes. A swimmer on no team often starts in Stroke basics, and the level check places them.
