SWIM PRE-TEST
(1) SWIM-TREAD-SWIM: SWIM: 150 yd. (that is normally 6 lengths of 25yd. pools) continuously using the front crawl, breast stroke or a combination of both.

(2) TIMED EVENT (SWIM-BRICK RETRIEVEL-SWIM): No Goggles. Complete a timed event within 1 minute, 40 seconds. ■ Starting in the water, swim 20 yards. - The face may be in or out of the water ■ Surface dive (feet-first or head-first) to a depth of 7 to 10 feet to retrieve a 10-pound object. ■ Return to the surface and swim 20 yards on the back to return to the starting point, holding the object at the surface with both hands and keeping the face at or near the surface. ■ Exit the water without using a ladder or steps
PRE-TEST PRACTICE ADVICE: PRACTICE-PRACTICE
. Find a way, find a pool (@ health club, HS, college, or home pool) to practice!
. This can be significantly more challenging than expected
. A little practice on a daily basis will go a long way to success. JUST KEEP MOVING
. Brick Retrievel - Very difficult for some who are challenged to go the bottom of the pool.
