wow. who the f*** would say screw safety when they're underwater....and rely on their equipment/safe operation of it to stay alive basically. that's also a liability for the rest of the class as one dumba** person could put the group safety in jeopardy.

hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
You probably know there is a swim test for the OW course. If you can get from point A to point B over 200 yards you pass. I've seen many get by with woefully poor swim strokes. You get all your forward power on scuba by kicking but 75% of power from arms swimming. Remember to dig deep in the water with your arms/hands, you get no power when they are out of water (not too high up). Don't move head side to side after each stroke. Look down, to left (breathe) or down, to right (breathe).
