Which level introduces participants to the butterfly stroke?

The Red Stroke level is designed to introduce participants to the butterfly stroke, which is a more complex swimming technique that requires not only strength but also coordination and timing. At this level, instructors typically focus on the specific movements involved in the butterfly stroke, such as the butterfly arm pull and the dolphin kick.

In this phase of learning, participants gain essential skills such as breathing patterns, body positioning, and the overall rhythm necessary for executing the butterfly stroke effectively. Mastery of the butterfly stroke at this stage can set a strong foundation for further development in competitive swimming or advanced swimming techniques.

Other levels emphasize different strokes or skills, thus not addressing the butterfly stroke directly. Understanding this progression is crucial for instructors to effectively teach and assess each participant's readiness for more advanced techniques.
