 Learning Task 3: “Emergency! Emergency! What will I
…………………………………………………………………do?”
Direction: In this activity, you are going to pick a situation, and do the necessary and
appropriate action in case the problems arise in doing snorkeling.

SITUATION ACTION TO BE TAKEN

2. Water entered the snorkel
1. Clear the snorkel by blowing out through the snorkel
to force the water out through the top.
2. But if a snorkel has a purge valve, then water will
exit through the valve below the mouthpiece. Use
the method of displacement clear. Begin by looking
straight up while surfacing, then exhale a small
amount of air into the snorkel. While ascending, the
air will expand and displace the water so that by the
time one reaches the surface, all water will be out of
the tube.
 Learning Task 4: Synthesizing Your Learning
Direction: Give at least five things that you have learned from this module.

1. Water has unique features that make it a perfect environment for activities and
good exercise. These characteristics include buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and
enhanced cooling. Buoyancy is the upward force of the water on an item; this is
why boats and people float on the water. On the one hand, hydrostatic pressure is
the pressure exerted by water when it is in harmony with gravity. The body is
subjected to hydrostatic pressure from all sides, which, together with buoyancy,
contributes to maintaining upright equilibrium in the water. Furthermore, water
has cooling qualities, transferring heat away from the body much faster than air at
the same temperature.

2. I have learned that snorkeling is swimming with a snorkel and mask to see what's
beneath the water. Snorkeling allows you to explore the underwater attraction
without resurfacing regularly to gasp for air with less effort.

3. I also discovered that the snorkel, goggles, and fins are the necessary snorkeling
equipment. The floating vest and rash guard are other vital pieces of equipment;
however, they are optional for some.

4. Furthermore, I learned about some of the problems we can encounter when

snorkeling, such as when water fills the mask when water enters the snorkel and
when pressure is felt in the ear while driving. I was also able to identify potential
solutions to these issues.

5. Eventually, I was able to recognize the advantages of snorkeling. Snorkeling

boosts one's overall fitness. Swimming tends to tone and trim the physique.
Swimming helps to enhance the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, ankles, hip
flexors, core muscles, and shoulders. Snorkeling, above all, improves lung
capacity since it demands breathing underwater for lengthy periods. It increases
oxygen absorption, which is an excellent indicator of aerobic fitness. It is also a
fantastic cardiovascular workout since it increases heart rate and muscular
strength.
 Learning Task 5: Choosing Snorkeling Equipment
Directions: You are going to snorkel for the first time and you were also given a
budget by your parents to buy all the necessary equipment for snorkeling. What are
the things to consider in purchasing mask, snorkel and fins since there’s a variety of
it from the sports good store? Answers the questions below.

1. What features of the snorkel will you be looking for? Why?

- A purge valve at the bottom of a decent snorkel is an absolute must. It's also
a bonus if it has a wave detector or chamber mechanism at the top to prevent
wave splashes from entering the snorkel. An excellent snorkel that I'm
looking for should also include flexible barrels for easier hold of the
mouthpiece and a rotating mouthpiece because having that rotates with my
movement lowers jaw fatigue. I also want an adjustable mask strap. Overall I
want an excellent snorkel that is comfortable to wear and use.

2. What kind of fin will you be buying and why?

- Closed-heel fins that are comfortably suited to my feet are the type of fin I will
purchase. I prefer it because fully enclosed foot pockets enable incredibly
efficient kicking with power transfer per kick, resulting in quicker speeds. It
also conserves energy better than open-heel fins. I'll also wear thin neoprene
socks to keep my feet warm, make the foot pocket more comfortable, and
prevent blisters.
 Learning Task 6: Acrostic Expression
Directions: Make an acrostic poem about the importance of Aquatic activities like
snorkeling in developing one’s health. Use the letters of the words “SNORKELING” in
each stanza. Create your output creatively and imaginatively.
