[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 252458, member: 6557"] [COLOR=#0f2637][FONT=Verdana]I had the most wonderful time in dive class. We had to swim 18 laps to make it into the class. The woman who was clearly the strongest swimmer could not manage the tasks underwater. It was just not for her. At the same time some who had little athletic ability struggled through and did well in the end. I would let it run a natural course. Say yes, be honest, get the Dr exam. If he fails the exam at least you tried, if he passes the exam but fails the swim test you also tried. If he passes the swim test, he just might make a good diver. It would build confidence and he would learn self control. They really are carful in the class the worst that is likely to happen would be that he gets invited to leave.
