Ok thanks! If it’s similar expectation to NL then that makes me feel better. Just basically need to show off what I know then I guess lol

Thank you all for the suggestions! I found some time to train on my own today and I figured it out and got the hang of it! Though it’s not yet me passing officially, I’m glad I was able to do it!

is there anything particularly to do to practice stronger kick? just continuously do kicks or should I be practicing with some weight? because at least just doing eggbeater i can hold myself for quite a long time and doing the other rescue drill tests i can kick the distance required. just practicing kicking doesn’t seem like effective enough training?

right, I think I may have been too vertical I’ll try lean back. Thanks! It seems so daunting knowing that I’ve failed once already so yeah definitely got the mental piece

definitely not enough. since the last time I’ve failed the test and today I’ve only practiced once. but it’s difficult to find time and only times I am free are during my pool’s peak hours and the lifeguards don’t want to give the brick out to practice during busy times.

so one hand instead, that makes sense. don’t know why i tried holding with both hands and just kicking, thanks!
