hey guys.
just signed up for a padi ow class and have some questions.
I'm pretty well out of shape and I'm told we'll have to do a 200 yard surface swim.
I know it's untimed but I don't wanna look like a total fat slob and take twice as long to swim it as everyone else. any suggestions? I have about two weeks until class starts. think that's enough time for me to condition myself to be able to do that swim fairly comfortably?
the tread/float for 10 minutes is no problem. I could float all day long if i had to.
but I think we have to swim underwater for 60 ft on one breath without fins. I don't know if I can hold my breath that long.
I'd appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me
after all this stuff I can't wait to get started on the actual scuba skills
