@girlzcallmefry no one said it was.

wow man that is awesome im in pre training for coast guard rescue swimmer school and am working on my underwater stuff is there any other drills i can do to help get more comfortable in the water

[stiffler2785]

@joecoasty189 I'd say try to get as much pool time as you can. Try every day if possible, do lots of water threading, do bobbing for 5 minutes non stop then when you feel like you can do more increase to 10 minutes then 15, then 20 etc.. Learn to hold your breath for as long as possible practice that every day. Learn to swim only using your legs with your arms tied to your back. Theres a lot more stuff you can practice on so I'd recommend you do a Google search or join military forums.

@stiffler2785 Hey, I can swim with my hands tied behind my back and bob like a dolphin would, but the problem is knowing how to surface and take breaths. Do you know what that specific style of swimming is called? I need help because I have injured shoulders and I don't like stretching my arms much.

Thanks

[stiffler2785]

@ScopedOUT2 I dont know the name of that specific style, but I know exactly what your talking about. Try taking big gulps of air when you break the surface but never release any air while underwater this will cause you to sink and make it harder to come back up to the surface for air. Hope that helped :/

How do you increase your long capacity?

[gmwarriorx]

Wow that's pretty amazing. You must have great cardio or been very good on the swim team.

@AAHH94 baum

@girlzcallmefry you have to do this during your ETD as well after around 6 hours of intense physical training with only one breath.. then after this you have to do another 15 more hours of training is that easy or still not that hard?

@stiffler2785 let's be honest...It's pretty freaking hard...
