Click on the link. Look at the recommended 15 Water Competencies (Stallman et al. 2017). Before your first practical session:
Identify the main areas that school swimming (or private swimming lessons) should focus on.
How do you ensure that these areas are covered within an effective school swimming programme?
How could you safely organise the pool for a school swimming lesson? Consider the safety aspects you may need to think about if you were leading the sessions.
NCTP-Learner-guide.pdfLook at the articles on water competence, water safety, aquatic skills, and drowning prevention. Also, how has C19 impacted school swimming. Arrive at the first practical lesson with an awareness of:
Water confidence and competence - why are these areas important?
What should water confidence and competence sessions include?
What are the demographic, socio-economic and, cultural reasons why some young people do not learn to swim?
Why are effective school swimming programmes essential?
What should be done for those who do leave primary school meeting the standard of being a able to swim at least 25m?
