We have the kids tread water or swim their choice for 10 minutes with either a sweatshirt or a pair of sweatpants on and then for another 10 minutes with only their swimsuit on then put on a lifejacket while in the water.

All,
Is there any kind of standard swim test for rowing? We make our juniors do one every year, which consists of 2 laps of a swimming pool and treading water (or floating at least) for 5 minutes. Does this seem reasonable to people?
Thanks,
