About Seal Pups
Seal Pups is the first level where we start our freestyle and backstroke arms. This level is for those who have advanced at an early age and need the extra skills, but aren't quite ready to join the big kids in Seals.
We recommend one to two sessions a week at this stage. The more often your child swims, the faster they progress.
What we work on
- Introduction of freestyle and backstroke arms
- Core strength
- Streamline push-offs and maintaining body position
- Strong flutter kick on their front and back
Moving up
- Your child can swim 5 metres of freestyle and backstroke with core strength, with a focus on their arms and feet
- They move to Seals, the next level in our advanced program
