School age - Year 1–2: Lesson 3 — Introduction to coordinated arm and leg action (early stroke skills)

• Focus: combining kick and single-arm actions, basic buoyant streamline, safe jumps and exits

Begin combining kick with single-arm actions and introduce side breathing, streamline glides, and safe shallow-water jumps. Use progressive drills, a playful station or game, clear adaptations, equipment guidance and quick assessments. Progress when children coordinate arm and leg actions for short distances while maintaining breath control.
