SWIMMER 9

This 1 hour class (with a class ratio of 10:1) challenges swimmers with 600-meter endurance workouts, a 300-meter timed swim completed in nine minutes or less, and a 25-meter object carry (10 lbs). Stroke technique is refined through 100-meter swims, while water rescue skills focus on defense methods, victim removals, and supporting a victim face-up in shallow water. Participants also complete a 20-metre rescue using a towing aid. First aid instruction emphasizes the treatment of bone and joint injuries, as well as managing respiratory emergencies such as asthma and allergic reactions.
