Class 7

5/14/12

Today was a pretty uneventful class. We had a big review day and worked on all of our water skills and studied for our final written exam. We filled out a new study guide and the instructors answered any questions we had about the course. I wasn't really that nervous about the written test as I was about the water skills test. I knew the shallow water spinal, CPR and active drowning rescues would be easy, but I was a little nervous about the deep water unconscious rescue. That was the rescue that I had missed when I had to miss class for my band concert. Sam went over it with me a bunch of times, but I still felt like that was my weakest skill. 

That means that when we had free time to work on any water skill we wanted, I drilled the deep water rescue over and over again, and I was pretty sure that I had finally got it. The rest of the class I worked on all of my other water skills and CPR. And when I was done with that, I played around with Imani :) Finally, our instructors led a few scenarios for us to take turns practicing to guard. It was almost more fun to play the victims though. Some of the more memorable scenarios involved, pretending to be intoxicated at a rave pool party, pretending to be hyper summer camp kids and pretending to be crazy senior citizens in the water aerobics class. We all had fun and were prepared the start the final tests the next day.
