​Deep Water Test Lessons

​​

Deep water tests are required for anyone under the age of 12 to swim past the lifeguard stand in the main pool, to go in the dive tank or to use the diving board or slide. This test consists of treading water for one minute, swimming legal freestyle the length of the pool and back without stopping, jumping off the diving board and swimming to the ladder. Legal freestyle requires that you swim face down in the water and breathe to the side. 

 

In our Deep Water Lessons our instructors will focus on helping your child to be comfortable treading water and teaching your child proper freestyle technique as described above.  We will also work with them to build up their endurance to be ready to take the BSC Deep Water Test.
