Duckling 3

In order to provide the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, swimmers are required to show all 6 tasks consistently. A buoyancy aid can be used. The face should be placed in the water for the torpedo shape.

  •         Make a supervised jump to an adult with or without support
  •         Float on front or back without adult support
  •         Show a streamlined shape on front or back when push off from a supporting                 adult
  •         Blow bubbles with the mouth and nose underwater
  •         Travel five metres on front to the side of the pool without assistance (it is                       recommended that an appropriate buoyancy aid is used)
  •         Kick five metres on the front holding a float (the adult may hold the other end                 of the float)
  •         Climb out of the water with assistance if required.
