COURSE OBJECTIVES – EXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The course objectives should integrate with the assignments, course content, and methods of evaluation. State the objectives of
the course - that is, what students will have learned upon successfully completing this course. Objectives should use active verbs
for observable behaviors. They must establish that critical thinking is an integral part of the course. Formulate some of them in
terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills that the student will have attained as
a result of her/his having completed this course.
Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
swim continously for 30 minutes.
tread water continously for 3 minutes.
toss the saving devices to a mock drowning victim.
write an individual swimming exercise prescription.
calculate target heart rate zones.
COURSE CONTENT/OUTLINE:
The course content is not a syllabus; rather, it should represent only those topics that all instructors of the course must cover.
Include a complete listing of the topics taught in this course. Arrange by major headings with subtopics. The course content
should integrate with the assignments, course objectives, and methods of evaluation .
LECTURE CONTENT:
Review rhythmic breathing, flutter kicks
Sculling
Breast Stroke
Butterfly
Front Crawl
Sidestroke w/scissor and inverted scissor kicks
Turns: open and flip
Treading water
Setting up endurance swim workouts
Determining target training zones
Rescue elements: ring buoy, shepherds hook, survival float, rescue techniques
Diving: deep water and off the board
LAB CONTENT:
METHODS of EVALUATION:
These methods of evaluation should integrate with the course content, course objectives, and assignments. The evaluation must
clearly show that critical thinking skills are required. Statements in this section should clearly show the basis for grading. For
example, “term paper shows topic coverage, basis of comparison, and critical analysis.”
Written assignment that includes heart rate zone and swim conditioning program specific
to student fitness level.
Students will take each others exercise heart rates and calculate age-related training
zone.
Assessment of a timed 30 minute swim and a timed 3 minute treading of water.
Stroke skill assessment based on mechanics of the strokes covered in class.
Each student will use water saving equipment to rescue a mock drowning victim.
