Lol a swimming pool? When I was a kid, my instructor for scuba was swat and he took us to a murky FL pond to do navs and rip your mask off. Looking back though, it was good times.

Similar experience in Advanced Open Water class; Navigation day was from the beach with tape across most of the top half of the mask so you could only look at the compass.
Add swimming a path in the pool underwater stopping to breathe out of scuba tanks placed along the bottom with no regulators on them. Swimming underwater with a tank and no regulator on it.
Plus..jumping off the low diving board with tank in one hand. Regulator in another, Not attached to the tank. Sink to the bottom with all your dive shit and put it together, take a breath, don the tank, get your mask on, purge the mask, swim back up.
