Which lead-up skill is practiced in the Yellow Swim School?

The practice of assisted and unassisted forward movement, kick, and pull on the back is a foundational skill taught in the Yellow Swim School. This skill focuses on developing the essential components of swimming: body position, coordination of arms and legs, and breathing techniques.

Assisted forward movement helps students gain confidence in the water and learn how to propel themselves. Once they are comfortable with assistance, they progress to unassisted movements, which enhance their strength and independence in the water. The focus on kicking and pulling reinforces muscle memory and builds overall swimming proficiency.

This comprehensive approach ensures swimmers develop the necessary skills to transition into more advanced techniques, such as freestyle or other strokes, as they continue their lessons.
