Red Cross is excessive

I’m in the middle of my recert class right now (2 days, 6 hours each) and RC somehow made it take 3x longer. Now we have to do every save 3 times on 3 different people.

It’s brutal in a group of 8 because you have to wait for everyone to finish before moving on. I get practicing, but if someone can do the saves correctly on the biggest person in the class, they can probably do it on anyone. Also we’ve all been guards for 2+ years, it just feels pointless too when we’re all experienced.

Hey guys, I got my recertification class coming up and every time I’ve done the swim test (150 then tread water with no hands for 2 minutes then a 50) I’m so Gassed by the end.

I’m not a swimmer like at all, and I don’t have access to a pool in the offseason. Will regular cardio help me ? Or is this something that can only be fixed by swimming often.
