I decided to get certified for an internship even though it is not required. In a few days a pre-test given by the American Red Cross will determine whether I'm worthy or not of responding to aquatic emergencies. The hard part: swimming with the brick.
One of the requirements is to swim to a brick, retrieve it and swim back with it in under 50 seconds. 50 SECONDS!!! My time as of today: 1 minute. I'm a pretty good swimmer but this task is HARD.
The catch is the ARC changed the requirements. The old time for the brick swim was 1:50.
At least if any middle or high school boys try to pull any sandlot jokes on me I can just ban them from the pool all summer.
