How do you politely offer someone help if they are trying to learn how to swim? Like it’s a very simple fix but I don’t want to come off as rude

You say hey if you’re open to it I have a few tips for helping you feel more confident in your swimming. First check that they’re open to the commentary. Some people don’t want advice. Don’t frame it as hey you’re really bad at this, let me tell you how to do it right. Frame it in a way that acknowledges that they’re aware and able to do the task and offer a way to make them feel better about their skills rather than make their skills better. Idk if that makes sense.
