Course Pre-test ability checkoff:

• Swim 300 yards (12 lengths of a 25 yard pool) without stopping, not timed.

• A timed weight-retrieval drill where you swim 20 yards, do a surface dive to a 10-pound weight in 9 feet deep water, then bring the weight back to pool side. The time limit is 1 minute and 40 seconds.  This is a easy time interval for the normal swimmer.
