The approach on a diving board (flex board, not a platform) typically consists of two steps. The first step is the approach and the second step as the hurdle to land both feet together to launch (“jump”) off the board to preform the dive.

From the language used in the requirement, this would be preforming a “cannonball” not requiring any rotations (or “flips”).
3
Also called the “freestyle”. Participants should use proper rotational breathing and movements.

Side stroke utilizes a scissor kick with the underneath arm extended above the head and top-facing arm to the front and top side of the body. The push and glide is created with the scissor kick and the extending out of the under arm and the over arm against the side of the body.

The approach stroke could be a freestyle (Front crawl) or breaststroke where the swimmer faces forward with head out of the water in order to keep a visual on a drowning person while swimming towards (approaching) them.

As best as I (a recreational swimmer and lifeguard) can determine regarding this terminology, this is one of two things:
1. From the freestyle, touch the wall with one hand and tuck the legs to the chest allowing the momentum to bring the feet to the wall, half rotating from back to chest 45 degrees and rotating the other 45 degrees while pushing away from the wall in a streamline position to resume the freestyle stroke.
2. From the freestyle, catch the wall with both hands bringing both feet to the wall in a tuck position while still facing the wall. Extend from the wall in a streamline position while rotating from back to stomach to resume freestyle stroke.

From treading water, preform a kick with the legs and arms from a “T” to a streamline by your side to push partially out of the water for a breath. After an adequate breath: bend at the hips, keeping the legs strait, reach down with your hands and head towards the bottom of the pool. Keep the feet together with toes pointed completely through the decent. After the initial glide downward, use the arms to displace the water and dive deeper. Keeping the legs strait and the body in a vertical position will help push you down into the water.

The egg beater kick is the best type of kick for treading water with or without hands. This requires practice to prove for effective treading water.
Alternative kicks include a combination of strong kicks like a scissor kick or frog kick.

This rescue is for distressed swimmers or active drowning persons by throwing a rescue tube, life ring on a rope, or other object to assist the persons in keeping above water. Some sort of rope or tether should be attached so that the rescuer can then pull the person to the side of the pool or to shore.
Wherever possible, the rescuer should not enter the water. If the drowning person is not able to grasp onto the item and a swimming rescue is needed. DO NOT SWIM NEXT TO THE PERSON. The drowning person may instinctively try to grab onto the rescuer and cause the rescuer to drown. If entering the water, the rescuer should push the flotation device at full arms length under the arm of the distressed or drowning person and push them to the side of the pool or to shore.
Additional rescues should only be done by those who have been trained to do so in a lifeguarding course by a certified provider.

BEST DONE AS PART OF LIFEGUARD TRAINING. This skill has two techniques taught by the American Red Cross for proper in-line stabilization: Head Splint Technique and Head and Chin Support Technique. These techniques are designed to reduce movement of the head, neck, and spine while providing care. The head splint uses the injured’s arms to hold the head in position by the rescuer by firmly grasping the upper arms and moving the arms to immobilize the head, careful not to move the injured’s head or neck. The Head and Chin Support Technique uses a clamping motion from the rescuer with both forearms of the rescuer onto the center of the breastbone and backbone, both following the direction of the spine. The hands will support the chin and back of the head to prevent further head movement.
In the situation where a head, neck, or spinal injury is observed or suspected, any rescuer should enter the water by causing the fewest waves possible to prevent further injury though quickly reaching the injured to provide stabilization, especially when the injured is face down in the water.
The execution of technique for rotating/rolling the injured from a face down position depends on the depth of the water and whether the injured is submerged at varying depths. For the head split technique whether on the surface or submerged, will require the rescuer to stabilize the injured’s head with the injured’s upper arms and roll (while swimming if submerged) the injured face up. The Head and Chin Support Technique required the rescuer to rotate underneath the injured and should only be done in depths of three feet or greater. Once the forearm and hand placement is secured, the rescuer will rotate underneath the injured to bring the injured’s face above the water. If done in depths where the bottom cannot be touched, a second rescuer will need to bring a flotation device to the rescuer to assist in keeping the injured afloat while the first rescuer maintains in-line stabilization on the injured.
Spinal motion restriction is then used to extricate the individual from the water (if breathing and not in respiratory distress) with the assistance of a backboard. This should only be done by those trained to do so.
