Most Canadian swim programs follow a progressive level system that builds skills step by step.

• Parent-and-tot stages: Children learn water comfort, blowing bubbles, floating on their front and back, and basic kicking.
• Swimmer 1–3: Students practise front crawl, back crawl, and treading water for short distances.
• Intermediate levels: Swimmers refine stroke technique, learn breaststroke and elementary backstroke, and build endurance.
• Skill refinement stages: Students master butterfly, diving, and rescue skills while training for fitness or competition.

Progression depends on mastering key benchmarks like floating, treading water, and stroke form.

There are four main swimming strokes, each with its own technique and purpose.

• Front crawl: The fastest stroke, using alternating arm pulls and a flutter kick with side breathing.
• Backstroke: Performed face-up with alternating arms and a flutter kick, ideal for breathing easily.
• Breaststroke: A slower, symmetrical stroke where both arms pull together and legs perform a frog kick.
• Butterfly: The most demanding stroke, using a dolphin kick and simultaneous overhead arm recovery.

Once swimmers feel confident with the basics, they progress to more technical strokes like butterfly.
