Students are given key learning messaging such as do not go swimming alone and swim between the flags to more complex knowledge such as recognising and responding to an emergency and making safe decisions for different situations. The key learning outcome for students is to have knowledge of the risks and how to minimise them so they can enjoy the water safely in the future.

In this competency, students will learn how to safely enter the water, test for depth, and other entry and exit methods such as slide entry, stride entry, and compact jump. The key learning outcome for students is the ability to select the correct entry method for the activity they are performing and understand the best ways to get themselves out of the water safely.

In this competency, students will learn how to submerge to different depths, open their eyes under the water and move through it while submerged. The key learning outcome for students is to become comfortable being under the water, control their breathing and perform simple tasks such as picking up an object from the pool floor. Learning how to control their breathing and stay calm while submerged will help students enjoy the water for the rest of their lives.

In this competency, students will learn how their body composition floats and how they can move their bodies to float in different positions and move from one orientation to another. By doing so, students will be able to rotate from one floating position to another without assistance and be able to roll from their front to their back in shallow and deep water. 

Students will learn how to signal for help, perform reach and throw rescues while considering their safety and understand how to help someone in trouble in the water. The key learning outcome is that the students can recognise an emergency and react appropriately to the situation they are faced with but must put their safety first.

In this competency, students will learn how to move through the water, from basic kicking techniques to more advanced survival and non-survival strokes. Moving through the water allows the students to move effectively and efficiently whilst extending the students to further distances, enabling stamina and water endurance growth.
