Advanced

At this level, you will feel comfortable in deep water while further developing the technique of the four strokes over longer distances. You will also be trained to feel confident in a variety of water situations, including controlled underwater swimming, diving and jumping in the water skills, and swimming fully clothed. This stage prepares swimmers for the A diploma, ensuring they are confident, safe and ready to meet all diploma requirements.

In this level you will:

• Refine technique and rhythm in all four main strokes
• Improve timing, body alignment and underwater streamlining
• Build stamina with longer continuous swims and pacing work
• Enhance confidence in deeper water and practise safe underwater techniques
• Train for real-life water situations, including swimming fully clothed
• Prepare for the A diploma as well as the B and C follow-up diplomas with focused skill development and diploma style practice sessions

By the end of the advanced stage, you will demonstrate strong technique, endurance and control across all strokes, along with the confidence and water-safety skills required for the A diploma.
