Annemf:Wait a minute, Jeff and Walter. 7 of 16 hours of scheduled class/pool time was cancelled.
Darlin', the total he had scheduled is less than adequate. Most folks need about 16 hours of pool time alone to be ready to head for open water. I always scheduled 16 hours of class room AND 16 hours of pool. Some are faster learners and got through the program early, others have problems and need more time. When I learned to dive, I zoomed through the classroom portion, but needed extra work in the water. I could not have learned to dive if I'd been expected to do it with less than 16 hours in the pool. The fact that you were able to get as far as you did with only 3 hours in the pool impresses me no end.
