This exact video and the help of a retired SEAL is what helped me lose my gut and love handles. Started at age 52 and now that I am 53 I use out Olympic Sized Pool at the Center where I live. I do 40 laps alternating on each side. I count one trip going and the return as one lap for a total of 80 trips or 40 laps in 55 minutes. On some days I only do one handed. Thanks for uploading this justdfactsmaam!!!!! Truly grateful!!!!
I recommend for anyone pressing to go to buds to focus more on the swimming than anything, unless you're a hardcore swimmer, and by that I mean 8+ hours a week in the pool, 12+ miles a week, I'm hitting ten hours a week and 15-16 miles. I need to work on running, and flexibility more than anything, I get chin splints worse than anything when I run. any tips anyone? I would really appreciate it.
@FadeToBlack1911 shin splints are commonly from bad running technique. when you run, where does the foot land first? if you land heel first, that's your problem
@FadeToBlack1911 yes, specifically the midfoot. if you land on your balls of the feet a little too much that can lead to shin splints too. your heel should slightly kiss the ground after landing on midfoot. that should lower the impact on your joints and leg and make you run longer without shin splints. take it slow!
@FadeToBlack1911 i used to run cross country (70 mile weeks) and have ran a 4:47 mile. im not bragging just listing my qualifications so you know I'm credible. It has nothing to do with technique. Just time. Most people get shin splints especially when they up the intensity or mileage. Just keep at it and they will go away with time. There is nothing else you can do.
@FadeToBlack1911 You can try using a massage stick or pizza roller to massage your shins before you begin running. It will encourage blood flow to the area and allow your shins to warm up without placing them under stress. That treats the symptoms. However, the primary causes of shin splints are ill-fitting running shoes and heel-striking while you run. Trying increasing your running cadence (to 180 strikes/min) and keeping your feet underneath you while you run to avoid heavy heel drops.
@3falconman not to mention the speed it has with fins, low profile it keeps in the water, and that it allows you to swim farther than you could freestyle but use less energy.
@stillapekatt yes. its much better if you have to carry a load or a wounded teammate. it is also much better for long distance. there are many reasons that it's the main stroke used by the SEALs, those are just the best ones I can think of now.
@Crazyblessed85 SEAL is short for SEa Air Land, the three environments in which SEALs work. There's the possibility you were kidding, but if you really wanted to know, that's why.
When I took the pst for AIRR I got 7:30 on my 500 yd swim using the freestyle stroke... When I tried going for ND using the CSS I got a 10:30. So don't think if you're a good swimmer you'll do good using this stroke never have practiced it.... It's all about technique!!!
@SoylentHolger hey i know how u feel its very frustrating it im just starting to practice the technique but u just got keep studying the form and practicen and ull get it
Why is it that the guys shown side stroking at the end of the video, arn't doing it exactly like the instructor? Seems like everyone's CSS is a little different.
ahah! thats what i was doing wrong, i would scissor kick an stroke at the same time, its scisscor kick glide then stroke....indeed well played i see the errors of my ways
The big diffrence between special forces of the Army and Navy is the Seal's ability to blow you up in the water, kill you in the water from a submarine, Come from a rubber boat in a fng hurricane and drown you in a cup of water. I was a Marine. I watched our Force Recon train with them. Force Recon are right their with them. The SEALS may have the edge, but Force wont submit ask some of them. You are only as good as you train. Train like you fight and always challenge yourself and your subordin
The point of the stroke is not the speed, but the stealth. Competitive strokes like backstroke, freestyle, and butterfly are faster but less efficient and covert.
@justdfactsmaam whats the best way to join the navy SEALs with as many shots at BUD/S as possible, and a good rate if I DOR or fail? im not concerned with the pay rate so i was wondering would it be best to join the navy, get a good job there and then volunteer for the SEAL PST or is it only possible to volunteer during boot camp?
@Crazyblessed85 It really depends on the length of the pool. The pool that i swim at is 25 yards across, which means 400 yards in it would be 16 laps.
@yeewaishun2000 Navy SEALs are taught to swim like this because it isnt so damn loud when you're trying to do a mission that requires stealth and concealment.
i understand this technique is for efficiency, being able to cross a given distance in the fewest possible strokes (25m in 3-5 strokes from military . com) but what about when you just need to put distance between yourself and something else? do they teach a seperate swimming technique designed for speed, not efficiency?
Just a heads up on anyone who wants to go to BUD/s, learn this stroke until you die and master it. Because if you're caught using a regular sidestroke, the instructors will have you run around an entire day, wet and sandy with a wetsuit on. By the time you take it off you will be bleeding.
@redcode82 Okay first, it's NAVY not Army. (It says so in the title.) And, it's a SWIM stroke. Not a "swim assassinate your enemy" stroke. Common knowledge my friend just not real applicable except for tactical purposes.
@redcode82 It keeps you low pro on the water line, minimizes splashing, you can swim with gear on and reduces exhaustion. My swim time went from 12 to 9 minutes in the 500m.
@xXskate4evaXx How is this has to do with gay? MichaelRJKidd's comment may sound arrogant, perhaps a little self indulging, but that is it. Your comment shows everyone you are a narrow-minded ignorant hater. You need to be properly educated.

Well I myself am training for BUD/s. But to everyone else out there who is trolling this video and saying the SEALs are slow in the water (have no idea where you are all getting this from)...take into fact if you can't swim 6 miles, run 15 miles, perform 150 pullups, 400 pushups and 400 situps in one day then you should probably shut the fuck up. Lard asses.
@1denisflores you can retake the PST if you fail it, though I'm unsure on how long you would need to wait before completing it. However, what you should be focused on is passing it on your first attempt, you need to forget any sort of mentality that you might fail it when you take it. If you are prepared and have put in the effort, you will pass.
@1denisflores This is only for Navy Spec Ops/ Spec Warfare and No limit, but once you get your contract you have to take one PST a month and show improvement.
@RayBanVisions Well I wish you the best when the time comes. The Army and Marines are both great in their own ways. And anyone can do it as long as they put the time, effort, sweat and blood into it.
@RayBanVisions B.U.D., I'm gonna tell you something I wish someone had told ME at 14: NEVER say "I cant do that," especially if you wanna join any military. somebody's life may count on you ignorin' that... as what happened to me. my sayin' "I cant do that" might've cost somebody a life.
@xINF3RNOo Alas no, it's impossible to do all that in two hours. The running alone would take about two hours assuming you ran at a constant pace of 8 mph the entire time. My mile swim takes about 20-30 mins too, depending on if I'm wearing fins or not.
@MrZeke1902 haha i know just messing man, but i can do the swimming and the pushups in two hours swam the mile for the first time at a swim meet went a 19:22 (not very fast in competitive swimming) but yeah thats why im going to be a navy seal!

@tro55 Recon does. I was in the Marines and attached to the Marines as their Combat Corpsman with water survival training. I can tell you this.....they don't all swim that well. I didn't swim ONCE in Iraq! =)
@bangmeister it should take about a week maximum if you hit the pool every day. perfecting your technique is probably what would take much longer. but just learning the rhythm of this should take no more than a week
I'm not a seal or anything, and I'm not in the navy either.
But I just want to give you some good advice. Always start with Freestyle, and practice a LOT. When he said "no bad habits" he really means it. The problem with new swimmers like you or me is that practically EVERYTHING we do instinctively is...a bad habit. Just go to a pool and try to do it. Ask anyone for pointers. And practice, practice practice. When you get Freestyle down, everything else becomes SO natural.
Is it true that in order to be a Navy Seal you have to: a) Be a butch-homosexual that likes to take it up the tail pipe and suck manly potent virile dick? b) Be a treasonous prick willing to do dirty-work for the New World Order/United Nations at the detriment of the United States?
@GodHatesPortugal Hahah someone is a paranoid possibly schizophrenic asshole, who believes all the contradicting bs conspiracy theories about the NWO. Do you really think if there was so much proof you would be among the few people who believe/know about it? Far more intelligent and logical people have seen those silly articles and they simply recognize it for what it is. Paranoia and an internet fool playing the blame game. Bad things happen in the world? The Zionist NWO is behind it! Grow up.
I personally think the SEALs are the best, but that's just because i want to be one. all of our spec ops guys, and all of the US Military in general are all awesome people who do a great service. I can't wait to join.
when you innitiate the kick, does the top leg have to kick forward because when i was lifeguard trained i was told to place the top leg back to create less drag from bending knees, and now i have that habit and i'd like to know if the way you kick even matters.
@9novak4 The stroke is in such a manner that it's a lot easier to flatten out and have your entire body facing the bottom if your top leg goes forward. The multidirectional thrust provided by your leg during the kick almost forces your body to go flat.
@darthshadowxxx Practice it by doing push-ups on the floor while holding your breath. It trains your body. BUT...put a pillow under you for just in case you pass out! =)
@Meowws The doggie paddle will also reveal your position from 2 miles away due to its splashing. Speed is not the key. Efficiency, endurance and little water movement is.
@ZelddaLinkFreak are u denying the fact that this swimming is hillariously retardedly slow? are you like 12 years old? grow up, fucking dumb fuck! get some education and start learning ur doggy paddle. u fat piece of shit cant even swim a pool length!
@Meowws are u denying the fact that this swimming is hillariously retardedly slow? are you like 12 years old? grow up, fucking dumb fuck! get some education and start learning ur doggy paddle. u fat piece of shit cant even swim a pool length!
The Navy isnt always about who gets there first. Its obvious that this stroke is slower than a lot of others, but it is more efficient, and is less noisy. Yes, with this stroke you will be slower. But you wont be as tired, and chances are you probably wont get caught.
@Meowws wow just go and kill yourself. i mean, you must be a really weak person with serious self confidence issues if your making jokes about a U.S. Navy SEAL. i mean thats just downright insane. the SEAL in the video could undoubtedly kill you with his bare hands if you were a threat to him, damn you are really stupid to be making insults like that against anyone in the Special Warfare community. seriously, go die you cunt.
@Meowws ok, i now know what the problem is. some phony claiming to be a SEAL picked you up at a bar and fucked you and never called you again. you have a higher chance of meeting a giant spaghetti monster than meeting a real SEAL. so i seriously doubt you have ever met one. im in the Navy and i met a SWCC and he was completely cool and not a dickhead at all. i think you need to evaluate yourself and figure out why you troll on youtube, theres obviously something wrong with you.
@jjh36ls looks like the problem is you. get a life. keep barking doggy. arf arf arf ^-^. Good Doggy! i hacked into ur webcam, tell that to yourself u dumb hunchback cockroach!
@Meowws are you that stupid? this kind of swimming isn't about speed it's about saving energy and being stealth. navy isn't the olympic swimming team.
@justdfactsmaam cool. what you did not knew is that, i had more than just a girlfriend. called a wife! learn to grow up kiddo. are you like 12 years old u dumb cunt?
@Meowws i don't know what you're talking about, the guy demonstrating in the vid was flyin through the water.... i'm sure a freestyle sprint might beat him for the first 50-100 meters, but after that i think the efficiency of the stroke will come in handy.
I can do that swim where you slowly move forward and do a lot of splashing. This swim seems a lot better to do if i was trying to swim sneaky....sneakily swimming. stealthily sneakily swimming..
this is such bullshit. any competetitive swimmer could do this in under 10 minutes, unless he sucks. of all the incredible aspects of the navy SEAL, this isn't shit lols.
I am not a soldier by any means but in my survival swimming class at NC State my teacher said the combat swimmer stroke is used mainly because it has less splash and creates less noise than other strokes
@15niall Combat stroke is employed to minimize amount of body breaking the surface of the water and to minimize splashing. Think aligator going in for the kill, doesn't help if he starts doing the front crawl towards lunch.
side stroke=very efficient 4 conserving energy 2 complete the other parts of a mission but it's also quite stealthy. a freestyle stroke would let the enemy know you're there & U don't want that. having done this stroke for years I know it sounds like the natural drip-drops of H2O when done properly. You'll be surprised how long/far U can go & how much energy U have after doin' it even 4 several hours.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I m so fast in the water doing this sidestroke, people call me dolphin man at the pool.=) i can swim sidestroke under 9minutes with no effort every time. the reason.. i swim 6 days a week 2-5 hours a day. Once in a while, i might take a day or even 3 days off swimming to rest. I will try and upload videos soon. Glide, breathing, staying relaxed and full body rotation is most of the detailed reasons i m so fast. no only fast, but quiet.
@thisisobvious ok thanks just trying to grow taller. There is this product " helpo growth formula" it is herbal thing, i ve been using it quite a while, seems like working.
This stroke is so awesome!!! I swim a 29 50meter of this stroke (sc). I snuck up on my coach during practice and scared the crap outnumber of him. This stroke is super stealthy and freaking awesome it's gayer than breatroke but much more efficient at conserving energy compared to free
what are we allowed to use in the pst??? if your technique is not perfect is this a disqualification? also on their website it says the combat sidestroke is to be used but this guy said you can use the sprinter side stroke so these two sources are contradicting, anyone out there who actually took the pst?
@0100110101001011 No you won't be disqualified for not having perfect technique, when I took my first PST my stroke was far from perfect and the instructor actually worked with me on it after everything was done. The sprinter side stroke is just a variation of the CSS so it is still considered a sidestroke, you don't even have to use the combat swimmer sidestroke, or I didn't at least, any form of sidestroke is acceptable.
@brinderofdeath actually that isnt true Navy Seal has the highest drop out rate which is at 75% in contrast Marine Force Recon only has a 30% drop out rate... Seal is the hardest of all special forces in the U.S military
I support Navy, Marines and everything, but I can't be the only one who thinks "Hoo-yah" kinda makes you sound like a tool

@xINF3RNOo Alas no, it's impossible to do all that in two hours. The running alone would take about two hours assuming you ran at a constant pace of 8 mph the entire time. My mile swim takes about 20-30 mins too, depending on if I'm wearing fins or not.
MrZeke1902 3 months ago
@MrZeke1902 haha i know just messing man, but i can do the swimming and the pushups in two hours swam the mile for the first time at a swim meet went a 19:22 (not very fast in competitive swimming) but yeah thats why im going to be a navy seal!

@bangmeister it should take about a week maximum if you hit the pool every day. perfecting your technique is probably what would take much longer. but just learning the rhythm of this should take no more than a week

I'm not a seal or anything, and I'm not in the navy either.
But I just want to give you some good advice. Always start with Freestyle, and practice a LOT. When he said "no bad habits" he really means it. The problem with new swimmers like you or me is that practically EVERYTHING we do instinctively is...a bad habit. Just go to a pool and try to do it. Ask anyone for pointers. And practice, practice practice. When you get Freestyle down, everything else becomes SO natural.

Is it true that in order to be a Navy Seal you have to: a) Be a butch-homosexual that likes to take it up the tail pipe and suck manly potent virile dick? b) Be a treasonous prick willing to do dirty-work for the New World Order/United Nations at the detriment of the United States?

when you innitiate the kick, does the top leg have to kick forward because when i was lifeguard trained i was told to place the top leg back to create less drag from bending knees, and now i have that habit and i'd like to know if the way you kick even matters.
9novak4 7 months ago
@9novak4 The stroke is in such a manner that it's a lot easier to flatten out and have your entire body facing the bottom if your top leg goes forward. The multidirectional thrust provided by your leg during the kick almost forces your body to go flat.

The Navy isnt always about who gets there first. Its obvious that this stroke is slower than a lot of others, but it is more efficient, and is less noisy. Yes, with this stroke you will be slower. But you wont be as tired, and chances are you probably wont get caught.

But I get it... 2 third crawl on third breast stroke.... low in the water with less splash..... Brilliant !
Not the fastest way, but thats not the point i guess.
I can`t see that I have any use fore it, but that doesn`t make it less intresting.
Thanx for the video.

side stroke=very efficient 4 conserving energy 2 complete the other parts of a mission but it's also quite stealthy. a freestyle stroke would let the enemy know you're there & U don't want that. having done this stroke for years I know it sounds like the natural drip-drops of H2O when done properly. You'll be surprised how long/far U can go & how much energy U have after doin' it even 4 several hours.

I m so fast in the water doing this sidestroke, people call me dolphin man at the pool.=) i can swim sidestroke under 9minutes with no effort every time. the reason.. i swim 6 days a week 2-5 hours a day. Once in a while, i might take a day or even 3 days off swimming to rest. I will try and upload videos soon. Glide, breathing, staying relaxed and full body rotation is most of the detailed reasons i m so fast. no only fast, but quiet.

what are we allowed to use in the pst??? if your technique is not perfect is this a disqualification? also on their website it says the combat sidestroke is to be used but this guy said you can use the sprinter side stroke so these two sources are contradicting, anyone out there who actually took the pst?
0100110101001011 1 year ago
@0100110101001011 No you won't be disqualified for not having perfect technique, when I took my first PST my stroke was far from perfect and the instructor actually worked with me on it after everything was done. The sprinter side stroke is just a variation of the CSS so it is still considered a sidestroke, you don't even have to use the combat swimmer sidestroke, or I didn't at least, any form of sidestroke is acceptable.
