yeah just swim a few laps in a 25m long swimming pool. you can go as fast or slow as you want and the instructor will let you know when to stop.
one thing to think about is the fact that when you look up you won't see anything. One friend of mine (we did the padi open cert together) was a little nervous during her first dive when she looked up and couldn't see the surface. She quickly got over it though by being thoroughly distracted by various things on the sea floor.

I got certified just about two years ago and love diving! I've done a few local dives (mostly on Vancouver Island) witch has triggered my plans for a cold water reef tank. The life here is amazing! Octopus, eels and inverts galore!
Last year we did a trip to Aruba for a freinds wedding and snuck in a few days of diving. The corals are amazing and healthy and the water was 90deg. at 100'!!! There is nothing like being at 100' in nothing but your swim suit. We did Grand Bahamas Island earlier this year. Corals were not nearly as impressive as Aruba, but I got to swim with a bunch of 5'-6' reef sharks!

My wife, my son & I are all divers. My avitar is a picture I took of my wife during a dive in Cozumel a few years ago now. (she's the one without the shell)
 Latest dives were in Kona last month, had a blast.
