Are they not wearing wetsuits anymore during pool training. When I went through AST A school we wore the shorty wetsuits which made everything way more difficult? Just curious if they changed that. That Pool is a blast to train in though, loved my time there.
are you still in? im 27 with tons of water time extremely comfortable with swimming and extended period breathe holds. Im just so damn skinny its tough for me to add any sort of muscle or fat but i want to be a swimmer so badly
Apply for citizenship through service. Get permission from your MoD or get rid of your Citizenship. Then spend a year in the military and enlist in the CG afterwards.
Quick question I’m really interested in becoming an AST I feel that is my calling. Would doing CrossFit then go to the pool for more training for about an hour everyday be a good system to get ready for AST A school?
I recommend more work. I'm interested in going in the same direction. I have buddies that have been through it and they say it's the toughest training in the military. So I personally recommend doing a ton more like running and a bunch of leg and arm workouts along with stamina workouts and pool exercises.
In school this is the training schedule… M,W,F Land PT 6-9 Pool 9:30-11:30 Lunch 11:30-12ish Pool 12ish-3pm Tues,Thurs 7-9 Regen (active recovery) 9-11 classroom 11-12 lunch 12-3 classroom
Double days and more training will definitely show your body, mainly your CNS, how to adapt to the increased workload. But be careful, don’t overdo it before even going to school. 12 weeks before school I didn’t do anything gnarly in the gym. Just maintained where I was and focused on mobility and flexibility.
Muito legal esses vídeos da escola de Guarda-Vidas,que bom que tem outros vídeos novo,vou conpartilhar com meus amigos,sou Bombeiro Profissional Civil e Guarda-vida também. Parabéns a todos😁🥰👍 muito legal
You just put them on with both hands. Or one hand if you’re talented. Then you “clear” your mask by blowing air out of your nose and slightly tilting the mask upward from the bottom of the mask.
Water confidence drills. Series of underwater exercises with limited rest time. Sometimes includes a 10lb brick. Also, guys just aren’t strong enough in the water to tow a 250lb guy fully clothed
@@mrjwil2012 I was towing a 220lb heavy man 0.37 miles, and a 175lb fully dressed person for 0.37 miles.. I had this test for the lifeguard license... and I'm a girl 5'3 Is that good? Would I qualify for AST school if I would practise a lot?
Technically, yes. But you still have to get qualified as a aircrew member and then get qualified as a rescue swimmer to operate with the helicopter and other rescue devices.

Yea you don’t wear the shorties no more. And school is 6 months instead of the 18 weeks. Split into 3 phases
This amazing! Major respect!
Is it possible to be part of the Helicopter Rescue Swimmer being from another country?

Bravo Zulu 😎😁 congrats!!! You're great!!! Awesome!!! Is it just you 3 from class 137-20 who graduated AST school? Respect man!!!
Yea 1 was rephrased from another class but yea just us 3. Started with 27
After being on the job for awhile, are you still happy with your choice?
Hey man, I’m on a school list right now, is there anyway I can contact you with some questions?
We are very proud of you Vaquer!! @asac
How do you put the goggles on underwater?
You just put them on with both hands. Or one hand if you’re talented. Then you “clear” your mask by blowing air out of your nose and slightly tilting the mask upward from the bottom of the mask.
Sweet! 🤿 What was your starting class size?
27! And Vaquer started in the class before us. So only 2 from the start

@@mrjwil2012 are the towing techniques with fins or without, or both?

@@francescavinci8445 you can do it if you work hard. Absolutely. Working hard while others aren't wins.
@Veritas2020 fins always
How old were you when you graduated AST school sir?
26
My deepest respect!!! :) :) :)
So you guys are officially ASTs after you graduate?
Technically, yes. But you still have to get qualified as a aircrew member and then get qualified as a rescue swimmer to operate with the helicopter and other rescue devices.
Why are you so few? There used to be more cadets.
Good job guys!
