Squad Swimming
Learn to Swim Victoria offers further development of your child's newly acquired swimming skills through our stroke development classes, Autonomy and Flippers. These levels aim to develop competition skills, fitness concepts, stroke technique and provide a more structured program.
Autonomy
This is one of the more challenging swimming levels offered at Learn to Swim Victoria. This class runs for 50 minutes and is aimed to provide proper stroke correction, techniques and other appropriate skills for the opportunity to excel in competitive swimming. To reach this level, swimmers must be able to swim 200m Freestyle and be able to competently perform Backstroke and Breaststroke.
Flippers
This squad is an aquatic fitness program designed for swimmers aged 8 to 15 years, providing a transition from our learn-to-swim program. The overall aim is to improve fitness, aid well-being and develop stroke technique in a social environment, with an emphasis on participation and fun without the demands of competitive swimming. It can assist those students involved in alternate sports, like football or other aquatic sports, to enhance their strength and endurance.
Swimmers will need to have completed our highest learn-to-swim level: Autonomy, to qualify for this squad.
Swimmers have the option of attending one or two sessions per week and bookings are essential. Times may be subject to change.
Club Squad Swimming Pathway
Following the Learn to Swim Victoria learn to swim program, you can continue swimming through our club squad pathways with Surrey Park Swimming.
