-
jump into the water from the side, totally submerge, recover to the surface and swim using either front crawl (AKA freestyle) or breaststroke for 150 yards;
-
after swimming 150 yards, maintain position at the surface of the water without support for 2 minutes by treading; and
-
after maintaining position at the surface of the water for 2 minutes, swim 50 more yards using either front crawl or breaststroke.

-
Retrieve a 10-pound dive brick from a depth of 7 feet and carry it 20 yards while swimming.

Students must swim 20 yards before diving to the bottom of the pool to retrieve the 10-pound brick. Students must then swim 20 yards to the pool edge, while supporting the brick in both hands. Students must retrieve the brick and exit the pool without using a ladder or the steps, within 1 minute and 40 seconds.
