By completion of this level, swimmers will demonstrate a strong ability in all four strokes over 25 meters with correct starts and finishes. Swimmers will be able to complete 20x25 meters freestyle on the 40-second cycle holding correct technique.

Swimmers are now efficient with their swimming technique and are learning to hold that efficiency throughout the duration of their session. They will learn pacing strategies which will enable them to handle harder and longer sets. They will be strong in all elements of swimming and upon moving up will be working on maturing skills, attitudes and goal setting.

Must be 11 years or older. These swimmers are now athletes who complete regular goal setting sessions with their coach to determine what they want to achieve from their swimming sessions.
The squad will be made up of state and national competitive swimmers seeking to achieve qualifying times at swim carnivals, as well as open water swimmers, surf athletes and triathletes who want to become fitter, stronger and more efficient at freestyle to achieve their competitive goals. There will also be non-competitive swimmers who are just wanting to stay fit or who are desiring a higher level of fitness.
