Learning how to swim comes in several levels. It starts with Elementary Level I & II. In short, students in Elementary Level will accquire skills that imbuilds in them "Water Confidence Skills", "Floating and Recovery (Standing up in the water after floating) skills", "Kicking Skills", "Surface Dive Skills" and "Squat Dive into waters".Allow me to elaborate more in the different skills the students will learn.
"Water Confidence Skills". Students will have to place their face into the water and hold their breaths for a short amount of time. They will also be asked to submerge their heads and open their eyes under water."Floating and Recovery Skills". They will learn how to float facing down and facing up in the water before recovering. Recovering means standing up from a floating position.
"Kicking Skills". Basic kicking skills will be taught. Mainly flutter kick and breaststroke kick with and without aid of kicking board.
"Surface Dive Skills". Objects may accidentally drop to the bottom of a water body and the need to retrieve it arises. The fastest way to do so is by performing a surface dive. For elementary levels, students will be taught how to go to a depth of 1.2m (max).
"Entry to water Skills". To encourage more water confidence, squat dive entries into the water will be taught. They will be squat diving with kicking board for practice purposes and henceafter, without the aid of kicking board.
