Royal Knights Academy

Royal Knights Academy Black

Our final level of the Royal Knights Academy. This group is for swimmers who are working up to swimming multiple lengths of freestyle (front crawl with smooth, rhythmic breathing) and backstroke. Swimmers are encouraged to swim multiple lengths for each skill without stopping and touching the bottom of the pool. We introduce breaststroke kick and competitive swimming-specific skills such as flipturns and touchturns. With coaches in the water for hands-on teaching, swimmers receive immediate help with adjustments for skills in order to progress to doing it on their own.  Swimmers in this group can also register for the Red/Black combo group and Saturday mornings.

Pre-requisites:

• 9 year olds and younger
• Completed RKA Red Group or Swim For Life Swimmer 3
• Front crawl for 12.5m 
• Backstroke for 12.5m
• Flutter kick on back and front 25m
• Side glide on front/back for 12.5m
• 4x25 @1:45
• **Saturday only - comfortable in deep water
