Scenario: A father visits a swim school to find a suitable class for his 6-year-old son, who can swim but lacks proper technique. The school staff explains the animal-themed levels and why his son isn’t ready for the advanced squad class.
Father: Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. My son is six, he’s confident in the water and can swim across the pool, but I know his technique isn’t quite right yet.
Swim School Staff: Absolutely, that’s a great start already. At his age, confidence is key. We structure our classes by animal levels, each focusing on building specific skills progressively.
Father: That sounds interesting. Could you explain what those animal levels mean? I want to make sure he’s placed in a class where he won’t feel bored but still learns the right form.
Swim School Staff: Sure! For example, Turtles are just learning to float and kick, Seals start doing freestyle arms and breathing, while Dolphins refine strokes like backstroke and breaststroke with more precision.
Father: He’s definitely past Turtles and probably Seals too. He can do freestyle and some backstroke, but I’ve noticed he doesn’t breathe properly or finish the strokes fully.
Swim School Staff: Then Dolphins would be ideal. In Dolphins, we really focus on stroke correction, breathing techniques, and building stamina. It’s structured but still fun and age-appropriate.
Father: What about Squads? I’ve heard from a few other parents that Squad classes are excellent for progression and structure. Would he fit in there?
Swim School Staff: Squads are great, but only for swimmers with strong technique across all strokes. Your son would need consistent form in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and ideally butterfly to keep up there.
Father: Ah, I see. So it’s not just about being able to swim, but doing it with proper technique, right?
Swim School Staff: Exactly. We want swimmers to build solid foundations first—especially with breathing, timing, and finishes—before pushing them into higher-paced, more demanding squad sessions.
Father: That makes perfect sense. Let’s enroll him in the Dolphins class and see how he goes from there. Thanks for the clear explanation.
Swim School Staff: You’re welcome! He sounds like he’s on a great path. With some focused coaching, he’ll be Squad-ready in no time.
