What happens if a student is not a strong swimmer or unable to swim? Will they be required to participate in water activities at OBS?
Students will not be forced to participate in any activities. Generally, instructors will adopt a progressive approach. Instructors will first guide students in a water confidence test conducted at shallow waters before moving on to deeper waters.
In addition, personal floatation devices (PFDs) will be provided for all participants.
