Bronze 

This level is for swimmers familiar with all fours strokes and continues to build on developing and refining their technique. Swimmers become accustomed to using the pace clock and doing sets with intervals. Training becomes more intense with an introduction to goal setting and drylands (stretching, sit ups & squats, etc). Swimmers should begin to participate in swim meets.
