I officially started a week ago when I paid my money and attended the first lecture. But I had gotten my materials and did all the knowledge reviews in the Dive Master book ahead of time. Second lecture was last night. I have been going to the YMCA swimming--I anticipated that the stamina exercises, especially the 400 yard swim would be the gating issue for me. This morning I did the 400 yard in 10:09 at the YMCA; 10:09 is good for 2 points so I am as good as home free for the 12 points I will need.
Tread should be 5 pionts
800 snorkle should be 3 plus points
Diver tow should be an easy 3 plus points
400 yard swim 2 points
equals 13 points
I want to knock another 10 seconds off my time on that 400 yard swim though just for ego (so I can get the three points). I asked my instructor to let me save the 400 yard swim till last to give me a bit more time to practice.
I plan to do the tread on Monday morning.
