  2. Stay in the water after the swim and float on your back and your front, and demonstrate survival floating.
  3. Put on a personal floatation device (PFD) that is the right size for you. Make sure it is properly fastened. Wearing the PFD, jump into water over your head. Show how the PFD keeps your head above water by swimming 25 feet. Get out of the water, remove the PFD, and hang it where it will dry.

  1. Do a front surface dive and swim under water for four strokes before returning to the surface.
  2. Explain the four basic water rescue methods. Demonstrate reaching and throwing rescues.
  3. With an adult on board, show that you know how to handle a rowboat.

    • Then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke.
    • After completing the swim, rest by floating.
