Growing up in a beach community meant being a major water dog for me. Nonetheless the trolls talking shit about how easy these tests are just don't know the difference between that keyboard, desk and computer chair and the world outside. It's not just the distance you can swim, but perfecting many strokes and techniques. The knot tying is a good example. I was told I would need to build my endurance to tread water for a full hour, so I built up to it only to find out it wasn't true. It was a half hour, almost 40 years ago I might add. There are other tests not mentioned here. You are classroom trained and pool trained and practiced before going open water in lakes, reservoirs, rivers and oceans. Then many required pass/fail pool tests are duplicated in open water, which is uncontrolled unlike the safe, comfortably controlled pool. It's not near as easy to locate your gear, properly don and clear and recover once being stripped of everything but your uniform or wetsuit in the open ocean or some silt filled lake. I've been in water where no visibility existed beyond mere inches. Holding my arm straight out and being unable to see anything beyond my elbow was creepy. It's even worse when the viz is low and you're down below looking up at some massive silhouette cruising overhead that looks like a massive shark, sealion, or unknown creature cruising past. I've seen other things swimming by so fast, plus colored and shaped such that you think you just saw a torpedo zip past.
funny to hear the comments about it being or looking easy. CDCQ is by far the hardest physical and mental school the Army has... water is the key factor.
Yeah, not all of us are trolls broski. There's honestly little about those particular tests that are physically strenuous, well, as long as we're talking about someone with a healthy BMI and low propensity to panic. Aaaaaand having feet that could be mistaken for oars doesn't hurt either.
Beside having one's hands/feet bound, here's another thing to consider, some people are naturally more buoyant in the water than others. I never did military pre-scuba, but took lifeguard class in college for PE credit, and civilian scuba diving. I found I really struggled to stay afloat without some type of buoyancy aid, where others just naturally floated.
I’m positively buoyant and I found that I had to let out all my air immediately to descend to the bottom. The dead man float was great for me and the traveling “dolphin swim” (which is what I called it).
We had a swimming pool in my backyard when I was a kid. I could swim underwater back and forth 4 times on a single breath. I don't know how far it was, but pretty sure it was more than 25 yards. Years later, I became a PADI certified diver. I had to pass a buddy breathing exercise that wasn't so easy. My partner kept hogging the regulator. If we surfaced or didn't complete the swim in a specific amount of time, we failed. I passed, but that guy definitely wasn't my "buddy"!
Yes, we appreciate your service and gratitude! Our service personnel deserve and warrant all of our respect for helping to come protect our country and they ssctifrceo a lot missing out on family get-togethers and watching their children growing up and important milestones pertaining to their children and families!
Pretty similar test as part of the Marine Water Combat Water Survival Safety Instructor certification. Not an easy feat, definitely more mental than physical, if you're in good shape to begin with. My hat is off to the participants, good video too!
When I went through WSSI we couldn't touch the bottom and instead of a mask we had a combat boot that needed to be thrown outside of the pool. What isn't shown is the training that leads up to this. Yes - you're in great shape by the time you get to this stage and your confidence is built up. Great course. My children are fish and want to learn drown proofing. Can't wait!!
I attended the course at Parris Island in 1990, it was definitely a challenging experience for me because I was not a great swimmer and I did not know what I was getting myself into. We started the class with 24 students and only 8 of us graduated. I made it through by the skin of my teeth. Have a great 4th and Semper Fi!
being comfortable in the water is crucial skill in life, I used to swim everyday when I was a kid for about 2 yrs....then after I stopped...i can still get in water but not comfortably...
The last part looks the hardest. If you can swim and stay calm under water this will be easy for you.I don't think the average person van easily do this
If you practice it, it can actually be quite relaxing. I went thru BUD/s back in 2014 and drown proofing was by far the most plesant part of the experience
If you wouldn't mind, may I download this video together with the scuba diving test for self learning purposes? Because soon I will be signing up for Singapore Combat Naval Diver, i need to memorize all these before joining up and prepare.
Yusamirul Putra Yusof it is internet world mate. If it helps you i will be just only happy for that. Feel free to downloud mate. And good luck in selección.
He was very good! I just think that some of these training exercises go a little bit too far I'm sure that this kind of training is necessary because of foreign country Invaders just in case our men or young men are captured but I don't think that I could handle it he did very well and especially to be a young man but he must have good strong lungs to handle the maneuvers they had him do!
I had nothing to do today and it was a Nice day out so I decided to try out these events in my own pool, let’s just say this is the hardest fucking thing I’ve ever attempted. I didn’t even come close to finishing one of these. Idk how soldiers are able to pass this it’s so hard
come proffondire in 5.09-5.10 minute.Saltare e difficile. Bravo.Quando se capire che non avere pavimento sotto in pensiero se iniziare paura da stresso.
I used to do this stuff for In Case of Emergency drills I did as a teen. I can "dead man float" for a good hour before I get bored. And bobbing! Lol we used to tape each other to lawn chairs or tie them and drop them in the pool. Then put a knife in their hand lol. Only me and a cousin did it really. But we always got out! Looking back it seems so dangerous, but it was fun and I still remain calm in the water. Only nervous around sharks at the beach.
This fella is making it look like a walk in the park. I can barely swim in a straight line. I don´t know how the hell would I make a knot underwater lmao. These excercises prepare them to remain calm, and overcome fear and issues underwater. Lots of shit can happen to your gear underwater. EDIT: 100 YARDS TIED? FUCK ME AND CALL ME DAISY.
I would rainfall population from primary school!!! With certificate by high school and as basic requirement for all new employment!!!Trained psychosomatic brings forth great spirit....brings fortunately spirit....brings forth a healthier society!!!
Hay que entrenar al personal a aguantar 2minutos debajo del agua después después pones los pies en la escalera te recoges y pasas las manos para delante por debajo así es más fácil y para nadar con las manos atadas es mejor boca arriva y darle suave a los pies o de lado y abrir y serrar las piernas 🦵 y darle fuerte o con el filó de la escalera cortar la soga
In this comment thread : people scared of water and people who swim a lot. I'm a fat fuck who's been in the water for most of my life and I would pass this test without training on my first try, and I'd be willing to bet anything on that.
omg i am so stupid i can swim about 250 feet underwater i did not know the test was this easy. That is because of all the years of free diving and scuba i have done. The trick is really simple yet hard to pull off: keep yourself very very calm as if you panic you use a lot more o2 it also keeps your heart rate low - less o2 used swim phases: power and glide in power you use both arms and legs to push threw the water like is done in the video but transition into a higly streamlined glide phase and allow speed to bleed off so you cover as much distance as possible with minimal effort and o2 usage. also i too was in the military... and i found the these tests easy because all i did before going in was swimming , running , 10counts, pushups, situps, p90x, biking and eating healthy
No disrespect to this training or these men who under go it but I was doing this stuff at 14 years old to test my limitations. I could swim 50 meters under water daily and had almost a 5 inch chest expansion. Some people are born to water some is all mental and that is hard to break.....yea survival instinct and all. Still practice for fun at 47 and amaze my kids.
I believe it is 50 meters. It's what's on the BUD/S Class 234 documentry and anywhere else on the internet. This guy got it wrong. The 10 & under swim team can do 25 meters under water. A 5 inch chest expansion? That's impressive.
Eric D as a freesover? 25 meter is absolutely nothing. The knot tying is just thinking, the breathhold is nothing compared with the training that freedivers use. The drownproofing is a mid of relaxation and thinking. As a freediver, this is not that hard.
Eric you can't cal yourself awesome swimmer and free diver if you have problem passing this test. I'm 37 years old and consider my self a former decent free diver and whith a little exercise in knot tying I think I will pass this test. This test is to sort out people who are not confident and familiar under water so they can start whith proper dive training from the beginning of the course and not wasting time teaching them to hold their breath.
ElakeLeifii before calling me into question I'd learn how to spell! the last part with the hands and feet bound would be very difficult. I don't believe that's easy for anyone regardless of what they say.
I have done this and passed, quite easy when you know what to do and when you are really well trained. Do NOT try doing this if you are not fit. It will go down, ok?
Ummm.....not quite. I started swimming, since I was about 3 years old. Then, I have been a competitive swimmer, since I was about 7 years old and throughout high school. 1st attempt at the 25 meter underwater swim (dive portion for Navy EOD Pipeline), I blacked out and the instructors had to fish me out of the water. Though, I passed the 2nd attempt.

Brad Handy so true mate 👌😉 but don't need to pay attention to those trols who makes coments as this is easy as they passed all it only on computers 🤙🤣
agreed... I actually went to the school and passed. :)
It looks easy because these guys make it look easy.
Depends. For somebody competent in the water these particular exercises really are quite easy.
Yeah, not all of us are trolls broski. There's honestly little about those particular tests that are physically strenuous, well, as long as we're talking about someone with a healthy BMI and low propensity to panic. Aaaaaand having feet that could be mistaken for oars doesn't hurt either.
tougher than it looks ,,, well done
Great job. Major respect to Navy divers, EOD, SEALs, Army combat divers, Marine Corps combat divers.
From a scuba diver point of view I have to admit that these Tests are really hard tough work!!! Massive respects to those who have nailed it!
It only looks easy because these guys a properly trained to stay calm because underwater is no joke especially in a combat situation

Former USMC MCITWS here....good training!
I wonder how professional free divers would score well on these test ?
They would do well because they can hold their breath longer meaning they are less likely to panic and have more time to do the things.
Kuramoong he’s being sarcastic
But do they know the knots?🤣
Bobbing is harder than it looks. Basically these are water confidence drills.
no comments ' I salute all forces 👍🏾👌
I would to train for those that, and I mean taking many weeks to accomplish something similar... Respect to all those divers.
From my own experience this is much harder than it looks
And it looks really hard!
Mental resilience is key. Well done.

My Father was UDT in WW2 .. One of the 1st Americans on IWO before the invasion started
O melhor teste psicológico, auto controle e domínio da respiração, muito bom!
The ending quote is great!
The drownproofing part seems demanding. I will try it soon. Guess it's possible with some training.
If you practice it, it can actually be quite relaxing. I went thru BUD/s back in 2014 and drown proofing was by far the most plesant part of the experience

panic= game over?
The bob test looks the hardest I’d say.
I can’t even have my head more than 5 feet in water without feeling like I’m dying I could never do this
Excelente vídeo amei.
Some of these “events” look pointless... Definitely is something I cannot do, props to the people who can!
Only a true waterman would know that this is extremely difficult. Phase 3 would wash out most swimmers
he is a real beast!
Was the burning oil drill in a lower qual or something?
Fak ! Mad respect to these dudes
i wonder if they have a test in sea cuz salt water is harder to dive and not to float in adding the current ,sand and waves
I don't understand the significance of the "teeth"-part.
Easy. That’s how I get to work everyday 😊

if you let panic take over you heart rate increases therefore depleting your oxygen reserve much faster then it's all over
Very interesting & excellent presentation
Keep calm and relax. Key. Good video.
I would have never have passed that I don't think..

I have a new name for this video call it growing up in the late 80s early 90s pool time fun
How are they not decompress their ears? It's definitely deep enough to feel the water pressure
they decompress without their hands.
it’s only 12 ft
knot tying was easiest imo
Everybody knows the secret now..
ha ha. can i join this
Respect
i think they should have to put on their mask while being bound !

25 meter underwater swim? They obviously aren't at BUD/S
Shit i might be wrong. SEAL training was always 50 meters underwater. Maybe it changed
David Pierce it didnt. Buds training is for SEAL candidates. This isn't buds
David Pierce one SEAL and two Green Berets over the past few years have died at an Army School in Key West. Respect to these warriors. Stop comparing.
