Every participant must successfully pass a float test prior to the first
water session of a rowing class. The Float Test is conducted in deep
water while wearing shorts and a long sleeve shirt. Men may wear swim
trunks, women may wear a swim suit under their shirt. No sweats please.
The Float Test will be
conducted the 1st day of class at a city public swimming
pool, usually the Kiwanis Recreation Center. Students will be asked to
float, tread water and/or swim unassisted for 10-minutes.
This test can also be
satisfied with a copy of a current WSI, Advanced Lifesaving, Dive Card,
or completion of Float Test Form. Must be signed by a lifeguard who is
certified by the American Red Cross. An acceptable photocopy of card is
required the first day of class.
A presentation on rowing
safety and a class introduction will be held at the pool as well. Bring
a comfortable change of clothes, and a towel.
