GUE and UTD non-divers training question

[vioch]

Do GUE or UTD students during REC1 practice skills staying on the knees on the bottom (as other recreational agencies teach) or is it avoided at all?

Avoided.

Avoided at all?

nevermind

Question is not in skills when passing.

Question is - are students taught on knees or is it AVOIDED AT ALL by using any different method of teaching?

It sounds like that is what Brian was saying. I wouldn't expect a GUE open water class to have ANY segment of in-water training be on the knees. Law of primacy and all that.

Skills are never taught, or performed, on the knees in any UTD class

Students might end up there by accident, but all skills are explained, taught, demoed, and expected to be done off the knees and off the bottom.

in GUE, end up there, lose your mask. One learns in a hurry. :blinking:

I feel that all agencies should strive for all students to not do ANY skills while kneeled on the bottom.
