WorldHealth Organization, drowning has been overlooked by governments and research bodies as apublic health issue [4]. One in five drowning victims is a child under fourteen [5]. Over 50% ofAmericans do not know how to swim and 61% of American children cannot swim [6, 7].Improving and further integrating swimming safety with education is thus of vital importance.With the rising popularity of water resistant smartwatches, we hope to explore ways to improveswimming techniques and reduce the impact of poor swimming skills on drowning.Water competency is difficult to define, and its very definition has changed in recent years. Thismeans that creating a more unified curriculum for swimming education, particularly in children,has long been a complex

A cache plays anessential role by providing fast access to the instructions and data to improve the overallperformance of the system. To demonstrate the complexity of the issue in an advanced computerarchitecture course, we used an empirical simulation study to focus on performance of multi-levelcaches and their associativity. This paper presents the result of such study. Designing andpredicting caches behavior has been subject of numerous simulation studies.
