Good luck, and consider yourself lucky. We have to swim 8 lengths (200 meters), then tread for 10 minutes.

I have my 2nd class tomorrow and its comforting to see other newbies in the "same boat" LOL

Don't worry, we did a 200 meter swim and 10 min treading water the 1st class. The 200 meter was not timed so there was no rush and you could float on your back and rest if needed. And the 10 min treading water was the same, if you got tired, just float on your back.

Thumbs up for your determination!!!!!!

When I did the swim test, I told everyone that they should all just go out to diner and I'd be done when they came back, maybe. I had just gotten over a bad case of a pulinary infection and was just cleaedr by a doctor to dive.
