This test is designed to determine if a swimmer is at an ability level where he can safely swim in the deep-end of one of our recreation center pools. For the deep-end skills test, you'll be asked to perform the following:
1. Jump into deep water from the end of the pool and completely submerge
2. Surface, then tread water for 20 seconds
3. Swim on front (non-stop) to the lifeline under control while using a rhythmic breathing pattern
