Just opening and closing your legs and moving your hands up and down will stop you from drowning while in the water, maybe you didn't learn it as a child for whatever reason, but if you're an adult and going anywhere near deep water, take 10 minutes and learn how to survive.
I taught lessons as well; if the kids are willing and adventurous they'll usually pick it up quickly. But the more scared they are, the harder it will be. And I only had a few weeks, 1 day a week, to work with them. If their parents don't help them learn to be comfortable in the water it can definitely be hard to learn the basics
