Swim Evaluation
Before classes begin, all students are required to undergo a swimming competency evaluation offered at Oakland public pools or any pool of your choice. Students are evaluated on their ability to swim 75 feet and float or tread water for five minutes, as well as their general water comfort. A personal flotation device may be used in the five-minute float. A valid Red Cross Swimmer, Intermediate Swimmer, Lifesaving, or Basic Sailing Card will be accepted in lieu of the swim evaluation.
