About Sharks
Sharks is the last group of our program. In this group our focus is to maintain freestyle and backstroke at a high level, ensure that breaststroke is at an intermediate level, and have butterfly at a beginner level.
Lessons are 30 minutes and we recommend one to two sessions per week. Sharks is the ideal preparation for squad or competitive swimming.
What we work on
- Stroke correction on all four strokes
- Endurance
- Race starts and finishes
- Understanding lane swimming protocol, including intervals between swimmers
Moving up
- Once your child is capable of swimming 25 metres of freestyle and backstroke at a high level, 25 metres of breaststroke at an intermediate level and 25 metres of butterfly at a beginner level, it is time to say goodbye
- Sharks is our top level. Swimmers can stay to keep building fitness and technique, or ask us about squad and competitive pathways
