I am the big guy in this video 6 foot 355 pounds.. and i swam the 300 feet with out stopping in 9 mins and 45 seconds. Dan Mackay was our instructor. And i did the 50 foot breath hold with ease right after the swim.
If i can do it anyone with the same determination can do it!
@Vurdulak I swim 300ft in less than 1:40 min. So everybody should be able to do it in 14 minutes.
But the requirement is 300 yards. Still, with just a little bit of training, everybody should be able to make it, as it really is not that fast or hard at all.
I am not a fast swimmer, but I do 1000m (a bit more than 1000 yards) in less than 18 minutes, just to give you some perspective.
I am not a good swimmer but manage to do it too! 13 mins.

Do you think that big guy in the video could actually swim 300ft with no stopping in under 14 minutes?
Vurdulak 4 years ago 3
The course will encourage him to do so

This is the only thing that is stopping me from finally taking the DIR-F... i just don't think i can actually do the swim, man.

Hit the pool 3 times a week. Take a few lessons..because alot of it is technique..if your technique is bad..you are wasting energy in the water

@Vurdulak
It is not that diffcult. One girl in my class did it in 7 min. I did it in 9. A 65 old man did it in 12. If you can't do it, GUE is not for you.

I could just about hear his voice when he was showing how important the drysuit-underwear fit is to mobility :D
