    This document outlines the fundamentals and testing protocols for different levels in a skill swimming program. It details archetype testing under water, style and technique evaluation, and kicking tests for meets. The archetype testing involves increasing required distances under water over successive meets and levels. Style and technique is assessed using criteria like breathing, stroke flow, and turns. Kicking tests involve increasing distances of fly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle over meets and levels with an evaluation of times, effort and starts.

    Original Description:
