Swim Lessons: Water Stamina

Swim Basics - Stage 3

Swim Basics are introductory swim lessons divided into three progressive stages that include the foundations of water safety and basic swimming skills, focusing on swimming to safety. In this class, swimmers focus on swimming longer distances and are introduced to rotary breathing and integrated arm and leg action.

Water Stamina is the third stage of swim lessons and the final stage in the Swim Basics phase.
