How long must a swimmer survival float and tread water at the GREEN SWIM School?

The requirement for a swimmer to survival float and tread water for a duration of 30 seconds at the GREEN SWIM School is rooted in building a foundation of water safety and self-rescue skills. This practice time ensures that swimmers become comfortable in the water and develop the necessary skills to stay afloat in an emergency situation.

Survival floating and treading water are critical skills that can help a swimmer conserve energy while awaiting assistance or while trying to reach safety. The 30-second duration strikes a balance that allows students to experience enough time in the water to practice these techniques effectively, while still being manageable for learners at this level. This skill level is integral in progressing to more advanced swimming techniques and encourages confidence in water, making it appropriate for the curriculum at GREEN SWIM School.
