Stroke Introduction stage 4 School Age (9-12) at Fulton County YMCA

In Stage 4: Stroke Introduction, swimmers begin building real confidence and independence in the water by learning and refining foundational swim strokes. Students are introduced to front crawl and back crawl with proper breathing, body position, and coordination, while also developing essential skills like treading water, basic diving, and endurance. Alongside stroke development, swimmers gain important safety knowledge?such as weather awareness, open water safety, and basic first aid?helping them become not just stronger swimmers, but safer and more aware around water.
