Phase 3 - Sprint 60 ft of front crawl and do an arm over arm surface dive to retrieve and object from the bottom at 7 ft. Tread water for 1 minute and return object to the bottom of the pool and then finish the length of the pool and complete 100 compressions.
If you successfully pass the pre-swim the next available lifeguard class will be discussed as well as an interview will be conducted. At the conclusion of the interview, the participant will be registered for the class and explained the pre-course requirements.
