[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 415690, member: 435"] As PInglett said his dad told him, one of the prime purposes of the class was to learn not to panic. Among the things we had to do was bob up and down for several minutes in the pool, first with our hands tied together, then with our feet tied together, and finally with both our hands and feet tied together. As PInglett's dad said, we learned how to make a flotation device out of our pants (jeans). We had to jump off the high dive, a requirement for passing, which a surprising number of guys could not or would not do. And we had to swim two lengths of the pool underwater without coming up for air. I was a pretty good underwater swimmer, but at the 3/4 mark I convinced myself I couldn't make it, and I can still hear Freddie Lanoue screaming at me, "SUCKER ! SUCKER!" That was his unorthodox way of "encouraging" us, but it didn't work on me, and I quit, shy of the goal. You cannot believe how much I hated the man for that, but he was obviously right; I WAS a sucker, because I know I could have made it. Ahh, the memories.....LOL [/QUOTE]
