Something is definitely wrong here. SSI bases their confined water sessions on repetition, repetition, repetition throughout all the confined water modules, so that by the end of the CW session you've done every skill multiple times and should now be proficient at it since you've done it so many times.
So either the instructor wasn't following the CW standards and was being lazy or there are 7 people who need way more help than I've ever seen. I'm leaning towards the first part. I've never seen an entire class perform poorly and that includeds a few hundred students over the past 4 years, which includes kids aging from 10-17 as most of my teaching is for a city youth program.
I'd definitely speak privately and directly with the instructor to see where he feels you're deficient. If he says you are then tell him you need more pool time and that one more day in the pool at his expense should get you where you need to be, otherwise, you should be willing to pay for additional pool time beyond that if you can't master the skills. If he balks at that, I'd contact SSI about what to do next.
Just hearing an entire class 'failed' in this manner just sounds wrong on so many levels. Best of luck in your resolution!
