How is submersion-part 1 conducted?

The correct approach to conducting submersion-part 1 involves a structured sequence that prioritizes the baby’s comfort and engagement throughout the process. Moving back allows the caregiver to establish a safe distance before cueing and lifting the baby, which helps create anticipation and reduces any initial anxiety.

The act of lifting involves providing support to the baby, ensuring they feel secure as they are prepared for submersion. By cueing the submersion, the instructor is effectively communicating with the baby, allowing them to understand what is about to happen. After the submersion, praising the baby reinforces a sense of accomplishment and helps foster a positive association with the experience. This structured approach not only enhances the learning process but also builds trust between the instructor and the baby, making it crucial for effective teaching in swimming lessons.

Other options may lack this methodical and supportive sequence, which can lead to confusion or discomfort for the baby, impacting their overall experience in the water. Proper communication and positive reinforcement are key elements in promoting a nurturing and effective swimming environment for young learners.
