This brings back memories. I went thru BRC in '75. I had grown up in Cocoa Beach Florida and was a decent surfer so I pretty much grew up in salt water and was a much above average swimmer. Our 2nd day at BRC was the pool tests and we lost 31 of our class of 49. I just barely managed to graduate as I suffered a stress fracture in boot that I thought had fully healed (I was maxing the PFT which required sub 6 minute mile runs of 3 miles and I hadn't had any real issues at ITR which had some pretty long humps), but the long very heavy overland humps in BRC reaggravated it and I got held back in sick bay twice and was almost dropped but ended up graduating with my class.
This video literally just helped me Swim Qual again. I kept doing those damned “up and down” motions with my hands rather than “spreading the butter”. I was also very tense and jerky when making minor adjustments. I now see just how easy it is to tread water, and demonstrated as much. Thanks much, mate.
I actually found it to be the most energy-efficient method when teaching for 3 hours in a deep water pool. You can do it really slowly and because you're barely moving, you use very little energy at all. For me, the other methods take up too much energy, but it is an individual thing, and everyone has their own preference.
El entrenamiento diario lograr perfeccionar el sistema logra el éxito de las misiones este seguro que cuentas con el grupo i los superiores es todo cuanto nesesita para jugarte la vida i volver con el ejercito
I know it's been said, but unless you're somehow more Marine than a recon Marine (medal of honor recipient, ww2 vet etc) don't tell this Marine how to Marine.
@@sauravbasu8805 Every floating technique they showed me....I went straight to the bottom of pool. Nothing worked. I went Unqual in swim from Bootcamp, to Helo-Casting into ocean with 2nd Bn 3rd Marines. I guess some thing are just worth dying for. Semper Fi.
