Shallow water blackout??? Usually very experienced swimmers.
One of the early tests they have to pass is a 50m underwater swim, no pushing off the walls.
Is this swimming breaststroke UW, or kicking with fins, or??? Also, are they not at least allowed to push off the wall initially, assuming the test is in a 50-m pool??? Just curious as it seems a lot of their swimming is with the long dive fins.
jump in, flip one time, breaststroke down, push off, and back. It’s easy but hyped up a lot, no fins. The SCUBA drills are much harder from a hypoxia standpoint, really hard.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. So, again just out of curiosity, how do these guy stay in shape when they are on a ship for weeks/months at a time and can’t swim???
