Is it worth focusing on the S-curve when learning to swim? The answer is simple – no. The most important building blocks when learning freestyle are breathing into the water and body position. Once you have these down pat and have mental space to think about what you’re doing underwater, rather than just fighting for every breath, then yes, you can start focusing on it. Until then, it’s not worth it.

It’s ready for each level and comes with illustrations to print.
I recommend printing it in color (images may be lost in black & white), placing it in a clear folder or plastic sleeve – and taking it straight to the pool.
