“Capability and teaching” combines two themes. An increased number of professional instructors for Blue Space activities (e.g. open-water swimming), improves capability. Time and motivation are shown as important contributors to ability. A lack of teachers may result in a loss of swimming culture in our communities.

When “National policy” is in place and properly implemented, it augments “Capability and teaching”, which entails “self-motivation” and increases “time allocated to learning” how to perform these activities. The latter two factors lead to improved ability, thus closing this reinforcing Loop.
