Stage 3

Developing safe entries into the water – including submersion – travel up to 10 metres on the front and back, progress rotation skills and water safety knowledge. At this stage, the Swimmer will be assessed without the use of aids or support.

By the end of this stage, participants will be able to, without support:

  •         Jump in from the poolside and submerge (min. depth 0.9m)
  •         Push away from wall on front and maintain a streamline position                                                        (1 hand on wall, 1 arm in front, sink, push & both hands in front)
  •         Push and glide on the front with arms extended and log roll onto the back
  •         Push and glide on the back with arms extended and log roll onto the front
  •         Travel on the front, tuck to rotate around the horizontal axis to return on the back
  •         Fully submerge to pick up an object
  •         Correctly identify three of the four key water safety messages
  •         Swim 10 metres independently on the back
  •         Swim 10 metres independently on the front
