Abstract:
Determine the effects of swim for Life Safety Exercises SFL its one of International Life Saving Federation ILS, Safer 3 and American Red Cross Program. At this research we use only Safer 1from the Swim for Life Foundation Program SFL in swimming and water safety in ILS, American Red Cross Association. Its lead to the ability to recover safely from a simulated episode of falling into a swimming pool or Deep water. Design Randomized trial of eight weeks' duration water safety and swim for life lessons for 40 non Swimming Student 19 to 21 years old from 15.10.2012 to 15.12.2012. Outcome measures-Buoyancy ability, water fear behavior, water recovery, and Tread water to side after jumping into pool were measured before, during, and after the SFL training program. Results: 40 non Swimming Student completed the study in the eight week. Swimming ability, water fear behavior, water recovery, and jump and swim skills improved over baseline levels in groups. By the end of training in the 8 week group improved in swimming ability. Improvements in water recovery and jump and swim skills were associated positively with changes in SFL ability. Conclusions: Buoyancy ability and safety skills of non Swimming Student can be improved through training. Such programs may offer some protection for them at risk of drowning and there was no indication that this program increased the risk of drowning. However, pool fencing, other barriers around water, and supervision still remain the most important prevention strategies to reduce drowning in Egypt.

Conclusion
We believe that the results of this study show that there are potential benefits for non-Swimming Student in learning SFL and water safety skills. This study should be repeated by others and Egypt should be as a member in Drowning Data in ILS. SFL and water safety training should be promoted as part of a drowning prevention program for this age range. However, a comprehensive approach would incorporate passive protection, such as water barriers and personal flotation devices, active measures such as water safety and SFL instruction, and supervision. All such elements should be advocated strongly to optimize water safety and enjoyment for non-Swimmer people.
