Key Ideas to Remember
Stages organise the journey
Swim Confidence, Swim Basic, and Swim Structured order the path from first contact to structured swimming.
Levels refine how you teach
Six adaptive levels tune focus and independence within each stage — not a race through a checklist.
Progress is individual
Consolidation and flexible routes are normal; readiness beats calendar pace.
Safety and wellbeing first
Physical and emotional safety stay central from sensory work to strokes.
Plan with a clear map
Use stages, levels, and development areas so sessions stay achievable and meaningful.
