About
Turtle 1 is the final level in our survival swim progression and marks a major milestone in each swimmer's journey. In this level, swimmers are introduced to key stroke foundations—including freestyle and backstroke—while continuing to reinforce core survival skills like swim-roll-swim and independent floating. Lessons combine endurance, technique, and water safety, with instructors focusing on both individual needs and group progression. Upon graduation, swimmers are celebrated as 'safer swimmers' and ready to shift focus toward becoming stronger, more skilled swimmers in the next levels. 5 Goals of Turtle 1: 1. Streamline with flutter kick independently 2. Swim-roll-swim to safety 3. Independently swim 10 yards or 10 cycles of beginner backstroke with arms out 4. Independently swim 10 yards or 10 cycles of beginner freestyle with arms out 5. Demonstrate breathing on the side
