Orca
Our Orca class is all about more advanced stroke correction with the lesson plan covering a 2-week block. Freestyle and backstroke are fine-tuned, and breaststroke arms are introduced focussing on timing which becomes an important element of breaststroke. Children also begin to learn to swim butterfly and extend the distance over which they can swim survival backstroke. By the time your child graduates from the Orca level, they will be confidently swimming all four strokes.
Orcas are
- Skill based progression
- Advanced stroke development
- Group classes of up to 5
What do our Orcas learn?
- All strokes are practised and finessed in this level as your child’s technique is fine-tuned over the length of the pool.
