swimming (NPTS). This scheme takes the non-
We currently provide the opportunity to develop through an aquatic route using the NPTS from Stages 8 to 10 in Competitive Swimming and Water Polo.
A brief overview of Stages 1 -
- Stage 1 -
Developing basic safety awareness, the 'class' scenario, basic movement skills and water confidence skills. Swimmers may use aids, e.g. arm bands, floats, etc. - Stage 2 -
Developing safe entries to the water, including jumping in, basic floating, travel front and back up to a distance of 5 metres, plus rotation to regain upright positions. Swimmers may use aids, e.g. arm bands, floats, etc. - Stage 3 -
Developing safe entries including submersion, travel up to 15 metres on the front and back, progress rotation skills and water safety knowledge. At this stage, the Swimmer will be assessed without the use of aids or support. - Stage 4 -
Developing the understanding of buoyancy through a range of skills, refining kicking technique for all strokes, and swimming 20 metres to a given standard as directed by the asa. - Stage 5 -
Developing 'watermanship' through sculling and treading water skills and complete rotation, also performing all strokes for a distance of 50 metres to the given standard as provided by the asa within the NPTS resources. Be able to perform a continuous stroke for 100m - Stage 6 -
Developing effective swimming skills including coordinated breathing across all strokes plus swimming a distance of 200 metres using a stroke of the Swimmers choice; developing the water safety aspects and understanding of preparation for exercise. - Stage 7 -
Developing quality stroke technique up to 200 metres, incorporating skills learnt and combining them to develop a linked routine and complete successfully an obstacle course that combines a variety of skills accomplished throughout stages 1 - 7. - Stages 8 to 10 -
Once the Swimmer has developed the core range of skills required to be confident, competent and safe in the water through stages 1 - 7, the Swimmer may then have the choice to take part in different aquatic disciplines.
