Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills: (1) Swim, float, swim - sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide and exit, and (2) jump, push, turn, grab.

Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in Stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.
