This is a combined level.

Level 9: Lifetime Strokes:

Sidestroke and elementary backstroke will be introduced in this level. Swimmers will also work on building endurance in all strokes. The advancement goals for this level are 200 yards of freestyle with 50 yards of bilateral breathing, 25 yards of butterfly, 50 yards of breaststroke, 50 yards of elementary backstroke, and 50 yards of sidestroke. To enroll in this level, swimmers must be able to swim 100 yards of freestyle continuously. Swimmers should also be able to swim both butterfly and breaststroke before enrolling in level 9-Lifetime Strokes.

Children previously enrolled in Red Cross level 6 can enroll in Level 9-Lifetime Strokes

Level 10: Individual Medley:

During level 10 all strokes will be refined. Swimmers will also build significant endurance throughout this level. The advancement goals for this level are SwimAmerica’s definition of someone who has learned to swim. This includes 300 yards of freestyle, 100 yards of backstroke, and a 100 yard individual medley. This definition is set because to complete 300 continuous yards, swimmers must have proper air exchange and sound technique.

Children who have completed Red Cross level 6 or have passed SwimAmerica Level 9-Lifetime Strokes may register for Level 10-Individual Medley.
