12Butterfly: Tick all the correct answers
- Athe action of the hands and arms are alternating
- Bthe actions of the hands and arms are simultaneous
- Cthe hands move slightly outwards and down to catch position
- Dthe arm action comprises a propulsive phase which is when the hands and arms are in the water and a recovery phase when the hands and arms are out of the water
- Ethe arm action comprises a propulsive phase which is when the hands and arms are out of the water and a recovery phase when the hands and arms are in the water

A: Advice - take advice, always read the signs; only swim where a lifeguard is present; wear buoyancy aids and life jackets

E: Emergency - learn what to do in the event of an emergency. Find the nearest 'phone and dial 999 or 112 - CThe swimmers guide:

A: Aquatic Breathing - master this to ensure efficient technique
F: Fitness - swimming can make a significant impact on your fitness levels
E: Equipment - goggles are always useful!
14The H.E.L.P position is recognised as being the most effective way to prevent heat loss.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15Whole - Part - Whole is a teaching method where the teacher begins with a brief explanation of the whole skill or stroke and the participants 'have a go'. The stroke or skill is then broken down into a series of progressive part practices which permit the development of the stroke or skill at the appropriate level. The teacher should then return to to the whole stroke practices to assess progress before continuing further. The main theme of each session should start and finish with the whole stroke or skill.
- ATrue
- BFalse
16The Nofio Ysgol Framework is the National Curriculum Swimming Assessment for Wales. From September 2015, regardless of what school year a child is in they will be assessed using the same criteria.
The assessment criteria has been agreed as:- ASwim 1000m with clothes on, tread water for 10 minutes and then climb out over the side.
- BSwim 25m with clothes on, tread water for 30 seconds and demonstrate an action for getting help. Move into the H.E.L.P position . Demonstrate a shout & signal action.
17Equipment: The main use of floats is help develop a horizontal body position, develop efficient and effective movements of the feet and legs whilst providing buoyancy and support.
- AThe most important aspect is that each child has a float that matches the colour of their eyes
- BThe most important aspect is that each child hold the float correctly. The hand position is critical and will depend on whether the purpose is to assist with upper body buoyancy or to constrain the use of the hands whilst keeping the face clear of the water - as in leg-kick practices.
18Stroke Development: The best process for stroke analysis and stroke development is to follow the process of B.L.A.B.T which stands for: Body; Legs; Arms; Breathing & Timing
- ATrue
- BFalse
