I think I will wait till he passes pre-SCUBA before I start dispensing a lot of advice about the CDQC.
I can guarantee that if you are so uncomfortable in the water that treading water for 2 minutes tires you, you are almost certainly going to fail to complete pre-SCUBA satisfactorily. Take NDD's advice and conquer your fear, or it will overwhelm you in the stress events, if not before.
You may want to consider trading for a slot to Airborne or Ranger School rather than the CDQC. The water is cold and unforgiving.
Good luck.
