Which one - the siver one for kids or the one for adulds?

(for those non-german speakers: "tauchen" means "to dive" and "schwimmen" means "to swim" )

... I could have sworn when I learned how to swim, a criterion for the silver emblem (for kids) was 400m in 16 minutes, not in 25... Darn backstroking. I never really cut a figure in that. You don't see where you're going and only injure hand and head.

But I can dive 35 m far. Of course that's nothing compared to this guy (he probably had warmer water in the pool than I had): http://www.koreus.com/video/apnee-re...onde-166m.html
