jump feet first into water over the head, level off, and begin swimming. jump feet first into water over the head, level off, and begin swimming.

Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: side, breast, trudgen, or crawl. Swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke.

The 100 yards must be completed without stops and must include at least one sharp turn.

Rest by floating . . . Long enough to demonstrate ability to rest when exhausted. If you don’t pass, don’t worry. There will be more opportunities in the coming months. After you finish your test, spend the rest of the evening having a great time with the guys!

We will meet in the pool area, ready to swim at 7:00 pm.
