Royal Knights Academy

Royal Knights Academy Red & Black

A combination of our second and third groupings for the Royal Knights Academy. The combination group is great for siblings of different levels, as well as for those in Red who may excel in some areas but still need more work in others before reaching the black group.  This group is for swimmers who are working on stroke progression for swimming front crawl and backstroke with arms out of the water at an extended distance. Swimmers are introduced to new types of kicks and drills. With coaches in the water for hands-on teaching, swimmers receive assistance with skills and the opportunity to practice and master these skills within arms reach of the coaches.

Pre-requisites:

• Completed Red Cross Level 2 OR Preschool 7 OR RKA White group
• Hold breath for 6 seconds underwater
• Starfish front float to back float for 5 seconds each side
• Front swim for 8m
• Flutter kick (straight legs) with kickboard for 8m
