Man, I was so happy that muscular guy flunked out first. "Muscles don't float." Haaa-ha. He had a terrible attitude. "Hey, are you guys a couple?" he says when a classmate tries to help another classmate who get his bottom bunk jacked. What a damn dork of a muscle head. I guess those steroids he was taking made him a bit unstable. Doggone it. Comeuppance is sweet.

He did more than that. He panicked and pushed the other guy under in his frantic struggle to keep his head above water. That was his real failure.
I also thought the test of treading water for an hour to be too easy, no real challenge to good swimmers. All you have to do is turn on your back and scull your hands and feet a bit to stay afloat. In a warm pool that is no big deal. I used to swim laps for two hours straight, which uses a lot more energy.
