Deep Pool Swimming and Kids

For the record, I’m an adult who can swim but refuses to go beyond 7 feet deep water level. I know I can swim across but the thought of the depth does something to me psychologically. I have a hard time treading in water. In short, I’m not a strong and confident swimmer.

My kid goes to swim class but trains in a 4.5 ft. deep pool (he is 4’0 now). That’s the deepest the swim school pool gets. Even if he gets proficient with strokes and techniques, how would they teach him how to swim in deeper water? How will they teach him how to surface from a deeper pool? Or will he just instinctively know?
