What this level looks like
Swimmers polishing every stroke, turn, start and finish before the team.
Pre-Team: one hour with a maximum of eight swimmers per instructor, Monday to Thursday.
Orca is where technique is perfected rather than introduced. How long it takes depends on how often a swimmer trains, and Orcas may swim up to five days a week at no additional charge.
Orca is complete when technique holds in every kick and stroke, breaststroke and butterfly are developing, and starts, dives and finishes are consistent.
