| "You had to pass the Red Cross advanced beginner test. ... I cannot DIVE though. The test requires a dive."
This almost drove me crazy when I went to summer camp. You had to pass this test to be allowed in the deep (read: fun) area of the lake. I could backstroke, breast stroke, crawl, tread water for 30+ minutes...I just couldn't dive. So I never got to have any fun with the cool kids. Can someone explain to me why it is more dangerous to climb or jump into the water instead of diving? I respected the water safety rules in general, but to me this was total BS. |
