<![CDATA[Background. Flood mitigation education requires contextual learning experiences, but pool water safety practice does not represent comprehensive flood evacuation competence. Objective. To develop a physical education water safety simulation for flood mitigation education and describe expert appraisal, perceived practicality, and observed behaviors during initial implementation. Methods. This development study used the ADDIE framework (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation), with needs analysis based on literature and documents. Products comprised a handbook, modules, standard operating procedures, safety guidance, and an observation rubric. Two experts appraised the product using 32 items, one teacher rated practicality using 30 items, and 29 grade IV–V students participated in one implementation in a North Jakarta school pool on 25 May 2026. Eleven observation items scored from 1 to 4 were rated by the teacher who also delivered the activities. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results. Expert appraisal yielded 249/256 (97.27%), perceived practicality from one teacher 115/120 (95.83%), and observed behavior scores 1,157/1,276 (90.67%; high under an internally defined rubric without external validation). Calmness scored relatively highest (93.97%) and cooperation lowest (84.91%). Completion of all product revisions could not be traced through version records. Conclusion. Expert and user ratings were high within this limited context. Observations do not demonstrate improved resilience or skill transfer to actual floods. Missing documentation of parental consent, child assent, and ethics review, together with incomplete operational safety records, requires editorial assessment before a publication decision.]]>
