 The objective of Learn-to-Swim Level 2 is to give participants success with fundamental skills. This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills-glide and float without support and recover to a vertical position. Participants further develop simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back. New water safety topics are introduced, and previously acquired water safety knowledge and skills are reinforced.
