STAGE 8

MARLIN

Progressing with control

This stage focuses on progressing to four-arm freestyle over 20 metres, with an emphasis on refining technique for backstroke and butterfly kick as distances increase. Swimmers continue to develop confidence in diving, moving from a seated dive to a kneeling dive off the wall. A basic introduction to breaststroke kick is also included, laying the foundation for more advanced skills in Stages 9 and 10.
