What is a skill learned at the BLUE SWIM School for safety?

Treading water for 15 seconds is a fundamental skill for water safety taught at the BLUE SWIM School. This skill is essential because it helps learners maintain a position in the water without sinking, allowing them to conserve energy and stay afloat while assessing their surroundings for assistance or an exit point. Mastering this skill is particularly crucial for preventing drowning, as it equips swimmers with the ability to stay safe in various water conditions. It also builds confidence in students, allowing them to feel more secure and capable in the water.

The other options, while beneficial for swimming proficiency, do not focus as directly on immediate safety measures. Performing a dive, swimming 10 meters underwater, and executing a flip turn are skills more related to competitive swimming and performance rather than essential safety techniques.
