These include putting their face in the water, blowing bubbles, and going underwater. They will also practice jumping into the pool and learning the back float and front float positions. As they progress, they will gradually gain the ability to swim independently, covering distances of 35 - 40 feet using the freestyle stroke. These lessons provide a solid foundation for beginners to embark on their swimming journey with skill and enjoyment.

At this stage, participants should be able to swim a distance of 35 feet, which is half the length of a pool, using both freestyle and backstroke techniques. At this level, students will focus on refining their backstroke by incorporating arm movements with their arms out of the water.
