What swim test do I have to pass before starting the Bronze Medallion?

Before aquatic training begins you must complete an unaided swim of 400 m in 9 minutes or less (goggles and masks permitted). It is done in a pool at least 25 m long, or over a measured open water course, and is observed. Surf Life Saving Queensland says a qualified Training Officer Bronze Medallion, Assessor Bronze Medallion, or ASCTA/AUSTSWIM swim coach (or similar) can observe a pool swim.

You must also be a financial member of a surf life saving club (Surf Life Saving NSW). Surf Life Saving Queensland states the only listed prerequisites are the age requirement and the swim test.
