Answer: (B)

Starting with a model of the skill sets the learner up to understand what to aim for before they step into the pool environment. Watching a video demonstration in the classroom gives a clear, mental image of the steps and the correct technique. Then moving to the pool to review the steps and demonstrate as needed ties that model to the real setting, helping participants see how cues and timing change in water. After that, you guide them through the skill practice while providing immediate feedback, so they can adjust errors with expert guidance while they’re still in a structured setting. Following the guided practice, participants practice on their own while you circulate and offer feedback, which reinforces independence and lets you monitor performance across several attempts. Concluding with a final round of practice solidifies correct form and builds confidence, ensuring the skill is retained and ready for real situations.
