Before Coming to Practice

Must-do:

• Swim Test
• Register on DSE

​

What to wear:

• Closed-toe shoes
• Warm clothes you don’t mind getting wet
• Wool socks recommended (Water does get in the boat and your feet may get wet!)

​

​

Swim Test

Why do we do this?

• In the event that sailors capsize, swimming to the boat or waiting to be rescued is crucial!

Requirements:

• Swim 50m continuously (2 laps)
• Tread water for 5 minutes
• Can be done at your local pool -- ask an officer for the form!

Can be completed at Cook and Werblin during Rec Swim
