School Age Squads

Swimmagic's Bronze, Silver and Gold squad levels will see swimmers building strength in the core skills taught in our Learn to Swim levels, while also increasing the teaching of other strokes and squad skills (dives, turns etc) giving swimmers a more balanced swimming education. On completion of Swimmagic squad levels, swimmers will have the strength and endurance capabilities to swim 200m freestyle, and the water safety skills that will keep them safe in the aquatic environment.
