Realistically, Rick, the only six-week classes I'm aware of at the recreational level are those that are taught through colleges. Even my YMCA OW class was only four weeks long ... and it was the most comprehensive OW class that I know of offered in our area.Rick Murchison:Yeah, it'd be tough. But somehow those six week courses seem to manage... and the cost needn't be higher and the logistics needn't suck if the agency would actively recruit and train enough instructors to support a decent course structure in enough places to keep said cost and logistics down.
But I'm spittin' in the wind with that one, yes?

Not sure where these six week classes you're talking of are being offered, but around here you'd be hard-pressed to get anyone to sign up for them. Heck, most people don't even want the two-week class ... the 3-day self-study courses draw three to four times as many students on average.
