This is not true jambutty when i took my GOLD A.S.A part of the test was to go through a hoop on either side of the deep end which was 9ft deep
you had to do this 10 times so it meant swimming round the pool 10 times and each time diving down to the hoop on each side so that's 20 times in all you had to keep your eyes open so you could see where the hoop was.
After i finished i got out my eyes where all red and sore with all the chlorine and by the time i was ready to go back to school i could not see a thing it was 6 hours before i got my sight back so yes you can go blind swimming.
and yes i did pass and went on to take and get my RLSS Bronze but the school would not let me go any further as they said they don't consider swimming as a sport
