Mehmed Istar-4496732AHE-1127 Aquatics Assessment 2Tutor: Andrew HammondPART AALearning and Teaching SwimmingAfter a 4-week teaching experience with Western English Language School students, the My knowledge on how to teach children how to swim has been greatly expanded and improved. This experience taught me many important things, such as making lessons fun and entertaining for students, always having a smile on your face instead of looking like a bad teacher and much more. Although I had a great time teaching the children to swim, I also had difficult moments, especially when trying to communicate with them. My two students were very poor at speaking and understanding English, so I had to specifically demonstrate a certain task to them using hand and leg actions. Sometimes I had to physically show them the skill I was trying to teach so they knew what we were trying to achieve. Before our teaching experience began, I thought that I would have difficulty communicating and building a good relationship with my students as I was. He is not too good at handling children and simply does not tolerate them. But since the WELS students arrived, I realized that it was actually not that bad, but rather fun and entertaining. My confidence increased from zero to extremely high as I taught them to swim. This injection of confidence will also be very useful in the future when swimming and water safety are taught in different schools. Now, I don't have to worry about whether or not I can communicate and teach my students how to swim properly and the right and safe methods to do so. The skills I developed by participating in the Aquatics Unit and the PILL programThe Aquatics Unit and the private investigator... at the center of the paper... can also be lifesaving. Therefore, the more young children start swimming, the sooner they will be able to acquire adequate water safety skills. Lastly, to decrease the number of people drowning in this country, I believe including/maintaining aquatic activity in the school curriculum would be truly beneficial and have a dramatic impact on drowning statistics. Teaching children how to swim at a young age could turn them into great swimmers and even lifesavers. Not only would they save a person drowning in water, but they could be anyone having difficulty breathing and applying CPR if needed. Teaching aquatic activities in schools can only benefit children rather than harm them as it would not only be a great benefit and bonus for themselves but would also benefit the country as a whole and reduce the number of drownings that occur every year..
