Oh god, not easy for me. I'm 5'3 and 102lbs....

Dove 16ft deep to get the brick, pressure is insane if you don't put on goggles correctly
-
Thanks for any tips!

Does anyone have any suggestions for what kick to use? Is eggbeater the only option, or the best option? I'm taking the 4-day NLS crash course in a couple weeks and would like to know. Just started practicing and I find that brick SO HARD to carry with my head out of the water--I keep sinking! (I'm female, muscular build--not very buoyant). Should I just keep practicing with eggbeater or try something else? Will be doing the test in a 13-ft deep pool.

I have to dive 14'...what up with that?

@paydafee They are actually making the standards harder by going back to timed "rescues" for NLS starting sometime in 2012...

guys how can i dive suddenly into the deep while in a swim?
-
Thanks! I just passed :) It was actually pretty easy.

@tigerlily9938 Good luck! Now that I've done it, I realize it's not hard at all. You're basically just floating with the brick, and kicking. Don't worry about the time limit. Have fun!!!

I'm doing that tomorrow. Wish me luck !
i had to dive 14 ft. to get the damn brick (i think the NLS standard is 9ft.) my fucking ears hurt
