The biggest issue I had during the towing while giving rescue breaths part was that I was in a dry suit. I got overheated. I made the rescue but it took me a while to actually be able to stand up once I got to shore.

You will be fine. The most challenging part is to always be alert. A lot of my scenarios were ment to be prevented before it occurred.
Obviously you will have to do a lot of water work, but it’s mostly at the surface. Keep calm and remain focus, especially when you are having your lunch break. F+^%¥rs like to drown during lunch apparently...
I was worried because my instructor was saying that the class "kicked his ass" just teaching it, and that it would do the same for me.
Oh, yeah, that's not where I'd like it to be at all. I follow the Starting Strength plan, and so when it's been a while (more than a couple weeks) since I've lifted, I do a total reset where I start back at the bar and add weight 10 lbs. at a time until my form starts to change noticeably. For whatever reason this last time my squat and bench reset to about the same level. There's certainly more muscle groups in the squat, so I think it's just a bit trickier. Today was a 135 lb. squat, and it felt good, so I should have it well in front of my bench in a couple weeks. It's just hard when you get sick or go on vacation to really keep up your weightlifting.It's interesting to me that the OP squats less than his bench press.
