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.
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.

I was right before you brother in 73!
Small world …Semper Fi!🇺🇸
From cocoa beach just graduated
@@kaimcalister343 nice, congratulations and welcome to the family!👍🏽🇺🇸

I love the frog kicks....been lifeguard for a year now, it's amazing
i have to be able to do tread for about 40 minutes without hands for some of it. what do u recommend form i use?
Thank you for making this video. I've wanted to sharpen up my water survival skills. Again, thank you, and Semper Fi from an old Marine...
Thanks for the video. Heading to Parris Island in August and hoping to make it to recon one day
Did you make it?
We were at Telega in the eighties
I will continue to train and when the time comes I will complete BRPC and BRC by any means necessary.
Phil damn straight never quit mindset we will make it
Kameron Hardy I have doubled my pull-ups but the swim will be the hardest part.
@@phil5514 when are you enlisting? I'm enlisting in 2021 since thats when I graduate.
Angel wick city I’m finishing college currently, my guess would be around 2 more years.
@@phil5514 so 2021, I'll be going to Parris Island, keep training, I've heard the swimming is hard.
Didn't mention anything about bottom samples like said. But still great video
That hand technique has never worked for me. All I do is sink while moving forward and back
All time great thumbnail
شكرا لكم
Excelente vídeo amei.
Exelente video
Guy has 10 inch fat layer
He is not gonna drown even without these treading steps
i'm saying. some folks have a layer of fat everywhere and that helps a lot. i'm skinny/dense. i have to work pretty hard to keep the same buoyancy
Thanks 😊 I didn't this becomes very handy. Can't wait to try summer 😁 here.
Cool video 🌳
When would you want to use the scissor kick? It doesn't look energy efficient at all
Даня Даррилович when you’re trying to get a great glute workout while performing recon.

how many minutes could he last using the scissor kick?
Quite a while. It all depends on your leg strength and cardio more than anything. Me personally I prefer to do the egg beater instead of the scissor
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.
Unless your marsoc
@@drwhite7285 has marsoc ever really been used? Seems like they'll eventually be resabsorbed into recon when the military scales back budgets.
@@MountainVisions they have been used, just not to the extent of Seals and Berets
Plus Marsoc have there separate budget, from socom the only way they would be reabsorped to recon is when socom completely cuts there budget
@@drwhite7285 Recon aquatic training is harder than marsoc's.
Exelente

Does changing the moition to clockwise when eggbeating have any effect
This guy studied Pavel T’s speaking patter.... I love it
1:14 always reminds me of the Mario Bros. 3 map when you finally get the levels under water
This shit look tough
Thích
Im from algerine vive swiming fader vive Gaza
??????
frog kick makes me sink when i bring back my feet towards the body
I wish i could swim!! I can swim very little and very slowly.
As long as you can float you're good to learn swimming strokes. It may take a while but you'll get there.
Why do I spin in circles when I do the eggbeater kick? Thank You
You are more dominant in one leg, make sure both are making circles and using the same energy
I was probably the most negative buoyant Marine the Corps has ever had. Still I loved it. STA2/3. Semper Fi.
All muscles and no fat ?

what i'm seeing is a lot of unnecessary motion. slow down!!! save your energy!
Thank you for the silly thumbnail
suppose to do this bs for 30 mins and recon not even spec ops smh
What?
Salty about the new facilities. Where was all this money in 96?? 😂😂😂
old SSG
Back in my day, that "instructor" wouldnt have passed bootcamp let alone, RECON.
Marine Corps, has really changed.
Brad Spatz “back in my day” alright brother...
Look up the height and weight standards. Love people saying this shit when they don't read the standards or know them at all.
Omg tell me more tell me more, stupid fuck. You’re so big and bad behind a fucking screen shut the fuck up
