Water Movement Stage 2 School age (6-8) at Fulton County YMCA

Stage 2: Water Movement builds on foundational skills by helping swimmers move through the water with greater independence and confidence.

In this stage, children begin to glide, kick, and propel themselves forward without constant support, while continuing to develop essential water safety skills. They learn how to safely enter and exit the pool, float on both front and back, roll between positions, and begin basic self-rescue techniques like ?swim, float, swim.?

This level is ideal for swimmers who are comfortable putting their face in the water and are ready to start moving independently while building endurance, coordination, and safety awareness.
