• Age – participants must be 15 years old by the last day of the class.

• Swim-Tread-Swim Sequence: 150 yard swim, 2 minute tread without hands, finish with a 50 yard swim

• A timed weight-retrieval drill – participants swim 20 yards and perform a surface dive to retrieve a 10-pound weight from the bottom of the pool (7-10 feet deep). Then with the weight firmly grasped with both hands and using only legs, swim back to the starting point. Time will stop once the weight and participant have exited the water. No use of a ladder is allowed. This drill has a 1 minute and 40-second time cap. Condition yourself ahead of the class.

We highly suggest you do some pool work if you are not conditioned to swim. We will teach you everything else needed to know.
