To participate in our stroke school (teknikskola) you need to be able to swim 200 meters, including 50 meters on your back. You also need to be comfortable in the water, even on deep water. Our stroke school is divided into the following levels:

• Teknik 1
• Teknik 1 Crawl yngre/äldre
• Teknik 2

Teknik 1/2 is mainly for children that have participated in MASS learn to swim program. For other children we recommend to start with Teknik 1 Crawl yngre (6-9 år)/äldre (10-12 år). In this group, the focus is on learning back and front crawl, as well as basic water habits and water position.

In the stroke school we practice all four strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle). We also practice skills such as diving and push-offs underwater. All our coaches are trained through the Swedish Swimming Associations training system and undergo CPR-training once a year. All coaches must also present an extract from the police criminal record on an ongoing basis during their employment with us.

All our courses are held at Åbybadet in Mölndal. There are 12-16 children and two instructors/group. Each lesson is 60 minutes. A course for Teknik 1 includes 14-15 lessons and for Teknik 2 28-30 lessons. After stroke school 2 training follows in one of our training or competition groups.

FEES

* Entry fee to Åbybadet (run by the city of Mölndal) is included in the tuition fee. The first semester of the stroke school, an entrance card is picked up at the swimming pool reception. This card is then updated before each new semester.
