Always be ready.
In my recent class the instructor had setup special scenarios ahead of time with the volunteer victims. At any time during the weekend a victim would go into their act while the class was on shore. The instructor just called out a student's name and had them perform the rescue.
It was nerve racking and exciting at the same time, and in the end I felt I learned more from that type of 'lesson' than any other class I ever had (by FAR).
You'll have fun.
Just a word of caution. Be careful of those "victims" they can be sneaky.
One moment they're calm and cool and the next thing you know you're being held under because they're "drowning".
Have fun it's a great class.
