  I'm a pre-enlistee and I can't swim. The thing is I falsely declared that I can when registering for NS. How? Pass NAPFA and PES A.

  Ok. By the way, I'm not scare of swimming, I just can't swim. I got kayaking 2 stars certificate, shows that I'm not afraid of water. I didn't learn swimming when young and as getting older, feel shy to learn. How's the programme like and what's the success rate? Thanks everyone for answering my question.
