Purpose
People credited with this unit standard are able to: determine
competence and learning needs of participants developing
propulsion techniques; and develop beginner swimmers’
techniques for floating, gliding, and sculling.
Classification
Recreation and Sport > Recreation and Sport - Aquatics
Available grade
Achieved
Explanatory notes
1
Competency in this unit standard must be demonstrated in a real swim teaching
environment and cannot be simulated.
2
It is recommended that assessment against this unit standard be done in conjunction
with Unit 22299, Create a swim teaching environment that is supportive of learning,
Unit 22300, Develop and maintain water confidence in non-swimmers, and Unit
27498, Develop water safety and survival skills, as the standards assess
complementary skills.
Outcomes and evidence requirements
Outcome 1
Determine competence, learning needs and strategies for participants developing
propulsion techniques.

Participant competence is determined through observation of performance.
1.2
Individual learning needs of participants are determined.
Range
learning needs include but are not limited to – appropriate
progressions, corrective activities, learning styles, participants’

Signs of a lack of confidence in participants are identified, and strategies are
implemented to develop relaxation.
Range
signs may include but are not limited to – gripping tightly, muscular
tension, eyes to the horizon, spreading of limbs, exaggerated
breathing patterns, verbalising reluctance.
Outcome 2
Develop beginner swimmers’ techniques for floating, gliding, and sculling.
Evidence requirements
2.1
A variety of progressive drills for facilitating the development of floating are
employed to enable skill learning.
Range
2.2
A variety of progressive drills and practices for facilitating the development of
gliding with and without leg action are employed to enable skill learning.
Range
2.3
drills include but are not limited to – arm action, head and body
position, leg position, leg action, on the front (prone), on the back
(supine), vertical.
Selected methods of teaching match the participants’ needs and individual
learning styles.
Range
2.5
drills include but are not limited to – on the front (prone), on the back
(supine), on the side (lateral), on the surface, below the surface; with
or without impulse from instructor or participant.
A variety of progressive drills and practices for facilitating the development of
sculling are employed to enable skill learning.
Range
2.4
drills include but are not limited to – float on front (prone), float on
back (supine), in a ball, regaining feet; with or without instructor
assistance.
teaching methods may include but are not limited to – teacher
demonstration, teacher description and explanation, participant
demonstration, standing practice, progressive part, whole-part-whole,
pace of the lesson.
Difficulties encountered by participants are identified and participants are
encouraged to use strategies to overcome these.
Range
difficulties include but are not limited to – floatation, balance,
co-ordination;
strategies include but are not limited to – leg movements, breathing,
body position;

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMRs). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
and assessors, and special resource requirements.
