My instructor told me that if the whole of my head goes under water, I fail.
I made sure that my nose was sticking out so that I could breathe, and he was happy with the result and so was I.
The one thing that was made perfectly clear was that drown proofing (face in the water only to come up for air every so often) was not allowed, but anything else goes.
As I said earlier, for a guy that could never, ever float, I found it surprisingly easy with the few tips I read.
