I wasn't at all worried BEFORE that swim test, but afterwards I can safely say that was legitimately difficult and pretty terrifying. Especially when you realize the lake we did it in was full of leeches, which was completely foreign to me at the time.

I swam in New England lakes for 20 years and never had one myself but saw several. Probably why I did the mile swim several times, treading water to keep leach free builds endurance.
