About Stingray
Stingray is the final level before we start teaching strokes. It is important here to learn the foundation skills that prepare swimmers for strokes.
When they graduate from Stingray they move into our Advanced Learn to Swim program: Seal Pups for younger swimmers, or Seals for children 7 and over.
