The tread water test requires candidates to tread water, unassisted, for fifteen (15) consecutive minutes. 

• “Fern, I didn’t get a chance to say thank you before I left today. I called not knowing where to go and was in a panic this morning. The site has no phone numbers but does say the location of a single testing location. You calmed me and helped me right away. I’m thankful for that. The entire day was exhausting but your team was excellent at each module. I really enjoyed it. The venues were clean, plenty of parking etc. I’m thankful for the details you seem to take into consideration.”
