You will take a swimming test to demonstrate your own safety in water. In the Netherlands, we learn that when rescuing people, you should only do things that do not put yourself in danger. You don't need to be a strong swimmer, but you should be able to tread water and move towards an object in the water and back again. You must be able to climb out of the water onto the side. As part of your MDT journey, you will also receive lessons to improve your swimming skills. This is described in another activity within this task.
