In several of the advanced lifeguarding and rescue swimming training I took and taught we had to hold a 10 pound brick over our head while treading water. If I recall correctly it was 10 pounds for 10 minutes and floating on your back was not acceptable. You had to actually tread water using only your legs….typically in an egg-beater pattern that once you got the technique down it wasn’t hard.
That was one requirement that washed a lot of guys out, they couldn’t tread water effectively without using their hands.
