Stroke Development

 
 

The Stroke Development levels are aimed at building on our previously learned skills, and further developing technique and stamina in all four strokes. The Stroke Development Program is the pathway to Squad training.

Our Stroke Development Program runs with the Queensland State School terms, but we also have Stroke Clinics available during the breaks. We also run Macca’s Mini Meets, where all the children from Learn to Swim and Stroke Development get together to promote their newly learnt and developed skills.

We have a team of very friendly and fully accredited SWIM AUSTRALIA / AUSTSWIM Instructors. Our instructors are experienced and maintain a high currency standard to ensure your child is given the best opportunity to improve and develop not only their swimming skills, but their water safety skills. Grace Swimming and its instructors ultimately pride themselves in striving for a happy and fun environment for you and your family.

Prior to booking into a class, we will need to assess any swimmers to see which level is the best fit! Give us a call on 3204 2725 to book in your free assessment.
