I'm not a great swimmer, can I still scuba dive?

Definitely! You need to be comfortable in the water, but your swimming skills need not be marathon level. As part of the course, you will have to "swim" 200m (4 lengths in a olympic sized pool, 8 lengths in a community sized pool). There are no time or stroke requirements to complete the swim test, some people even do the 200m floating on their backs!
