Thank you for the comment. Yes you would have to perform all strokes as a requirement to past the test. They want to make sure that you are comfortable in the water and the sidestroke is the most important survivor stroke. You can swim for miles using it with very little effort or energy. Feel free to contact us if you would like one on one instruction. The gentleman in the video is now an Aircrewman after our instruction. www.apodgroup.com
@@KrispyKidTay1 A few factors go into floating in the prone or "deadman floats." Your buoyancy or negative buoyancy can affect your ability to float. As a standard just putting your face in the water, tucking your chin to your chest and spreading out your arms and legs in a relaxed manner, will help your back come out of the water and help you float.
The first swim style he did what was that called...the one where he only had his right arm extended the whole time?
Do we have to perform all strokes because my sidestroke is garbage?

@@APODGroup1 thank you for the reply back! One more last thing do you have any tips on the prone float?

Oh look. It's the pool of my community where apparently training for this swim test is "concerning".
