[QUOTE="2ndgenjacket, post: 800272, member: 1138"] I had Coach Mccauley in 1974. My memory of that was the underwater swim test. Had to forward flip from the deep end so no momentum and swim underwater to the other end and then all the way back and touch the wall for an A. I think you got a C for touching the away wall and a B for getting halfway back. You also got an A if you passed out and he had to fish you out. He had some some swim team guy demonstrate and his instructions were to ’stroke and glide’ because if you stroked/kicked non-stop you would use too much oxygen. I was 2nd in line and the 1st guy followed form perfect. Was 3/4 way back and Coach was walking on the deck beside saying ‘see that? Stroke and glide’. Well after his last glide he never stroked and sank to the bottom of the deep end and coach had the swim team guy jump in and fish him out up on the side spitting and coughing. Next, he yells. Everyone was freaking out and I had never been so nervous in my life. Somehow I made it all the way back and I think it was truly a mental test but I was completely out of air and could not have gone another foot. I do think it inspired others to finish that test.
