Hey there, I'm sorry to hear your son's trouble with treading water. I am not sure how long he will have, but if thats the only thing he can't do, as part of the PT test, i think he will be okay. They should work with him, even though it may not seem that way to him. When did you talk to him last? Treading water can definitely be learned, but takes a little time. Tell him to try really hard to control his breathing. I know thats difficult when your under stress but this parts important. I will pray he passes. Hang in there Mom.
