Those skills are: a) Ability to do a streamline with face down in the water. b) Ability to float on back for ten seconds, unassisted. (Coach can get the child started on their back.) c) Ability to swim half way down the pool, in any manner, unassisted, and without pulling on lane ropes or pushing off the pool bottom. d) Ability to kick on a kick board half way down the pool, unassisted, and without pulling on lane ropes or pushing off the pool bottom.
