Back Elementary Rubric
	Need Improvement 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Excellent 4 pts
Body position and movement	Need Improvement Body position nearly vertical. Student barely advances and frequently has to stop.	Fair Body is at less than a 70 degree angle with the head at an incorrect position. Student struggles to advance.	Good Body is almost perfectly horizontal and the head may be slightly positioned incorrectly (head too far back or chin to close to the chest). Propulsion is very inconsistent.	Excellent Body is perfectly horizontal with a neutral head position. Proper propulsion is seen during every stroke.
Arms and Hands	Need Improvement Arms don't have any coordination whatsoever.	Fair Arms don't hug the body and the pull is very inconsistent. Hands come out of the water as well.	Good Arms come up too high past their shoulders and ears. Pull is inconsistent.	Excellent Arms hug the body and stop at the shoulder position. At the shoulders, the student points their hands outwards and pushes the water downwards returning the hands to the starting position.
Leg Action	Need Improvement Knees are completely apart and the kick is not producing any propulsion. You ask yourself, "what on earth is this student doing?" :)	Fair Student does an uneven kick with one leg lagging behind the other. Knees are often times everywhere and the kick does not produce effective propulsion	Good Inconsistent kick with knees coming out of the water. Propulsion is decent but not great.	Excellent Knees stay 6-12 inches apart and the ankles point outwards while performing each kick. Knees should not come out of the water. The kick should provide a noticeably strong propulsion.
Breathing and Timing	Need Improvement Student has trouble breathing because their head goes under water. Their coordination is completely off.	Fair Breathing is erratic and their arms and legs are working at different times. The result is an uncoordinated inefficient stroke.	Good Breathing is fairly relaxed but their arms and legs are not in perfect unison.	Excellent Breathing is relaxed and comfortable. Arms and legs are working simultaneously producing an effective and beautiful stroke.
