3. What are your thoughts on taking this course (more than 200 words)?
I have never learned swimming so intense before I joined this course, the highlight of the
course was very interesting, started with butterfly stroke, lifesaving, how to dive into the
pool. The course also inserting games to make it more fun and memorable. Another thing to
add, swimming course also never late to dispense class so we can eat lunch calmly. The TA
also very helpful to translate the course into English so the international student never
placed on the back. The butterfly learning also using step by step starting from body, and
how to breathe, legs, and hands so we could practice intensely. We also learned on how to
survive when we got cramps inside the water and it is so useful because I have never
learned it anywhere before, and to take off our clothes when we’re drowning and to make it
as a lifebuoy and make us float. Also have the ability to learn about how to dive and it was
so hard yet very interesting. But sadly, we can’t continue the class due to the outbreak of
COVID 19 but everything that I learned from the class will be very helpful for me and to help
everyone else near me in the future. Once again, thank you Sir and TA.
