You will be fine at the swimming-everyone makes it seem harder than it is.
I have flown before, and done the swimming twice-both times done the same thing, however it may be different with Virgin??!!
If it's similar-you swim your 25 metres-not timed or anything, then jump in the pool with a lifejacket on.
You have to do a little bit of lifesaving-swiming whilst pulling someone along.
Tread water then you have to get in a liferaft and put the roof on it-canopy thing!
I find the hardest bit is getting myself in the liferaft!!-god help me!
Whilst your doing the liferaft they ask you questions about it-all things we will learn in the classroom.
I'm dreading the slide!!!-I hate that soo much.
