What is the primary purpose of the WSI manual?

To provide emergency procedures
As a resource during training and reference once training is complete
To outline the history of water safety
To list all applicable laws regarding swimming

The correct answer is: As a resource during training and reference once training is complete

The primary purpose of the Water Safety Instructor (WSI) manual is to serve as a comprehensive resource during the training process and as a reference for instructors once their training is complete. The manual encompasses a wide array of instructional materials, techniques, teaching strategies, and safety information critical for effective water instruction. While emergency procedures, historical context, and legal requirements are important aspects of water safety, they are not the primary focus of the manual. The emphasis on providing a broad resource for instructors ensures that they can deliver high-quality lessons and enhance their knowledge and skills over time, aiding them in adapting their teaching to the needs of learners. This ongoing reference capability is essential for creating a safe and effective learning environment around water activities.
