Minnow, Fish, Flying Fish, and Shark. I stopped short of doing lifesaving. We had do learn 4 different strokes as well as diving and retrieving a hockey puck from the deep end of the pool. And we had to swim a mile using any stroke. I think I bounced my toe on the bottom when I went to the shallow end because its very tiring.

I don't swim much now. But I have done a fair amount of kayaking and canoeing across some deep lakes. I've gone into the water a few times, and I'm glad I know how to swim.
