Im 30yr old and Im in the process of becoming a Rescue Swimmer. Anything is possible as long as you follow your heart, believe in yourself as much as in God and Never EVER give up on your dreams! Im living proof guys
Turning 30 in a month; is there a higher or lower success rate for older candidates in Rescue Swimmer School? Almost joined 6 years ago, and I hear the calling again. Anyone have personal experience or know of people in late 20's who made it through?
@@joejuliano2898 I know for Pararescue from talking with some myself that they would rather take someone 29 or 30 years old than someone fresh out of school because the older person knowd themselves better, has more life experience and is generally more mature. Plus, many triathletes peak around 35 so its a perfect time to join. 27 is the average age for those who graduate Pararescue and you can say that it is equally difficult as far as the swimming portion if not harder from what I know. Both of them you have to be extremely comfortable in the water, you need to train like a free diver, getting use to being able to handle higher levels of C02 in your body and lower levels of 02. Its part physical and a lot mental. DO NOT TRAIN BREATH HOLDING IN WATER ALONE. Train outside of the pool somewhere safe, lying down where you wont fall if you pass out. The better you get at bteath holding outside of the water the better you will be in the water. When you get in the water and your face touches the water your mammalian diver response activates and allows for you tol hold you breath longer underwater than you could outside of water, this is why you train outside of water and because it is safer. The more use to high levels of C02 in your body, the longer you can go without that diaphragm spasms and burning in your lungs, when you get that burning feeling its not because you lack 02 neccessarily, its a response triggered by a build up of C02. But the more use to you get to high levels of C02 the closer you will get to fainting for lacking of oxygen without knowing you are running out. Thats why its important to train C02 tabpes and 02 tables.keep in touch brother. I also want to do it so, if you want to help eachother let me know. I am also close to your age
@@@maverickmo8976 That's refreshing to hear. Would you mind emailing me, it would be great to talk over phone if available one of these days. email at jjuliano99@gmail.com
I just moved to Kauai.... I've suddenly never wanted anything as much as being a rescue swimmer. I'm 25 as of last month, But I will go Monday to the recruiter. I will see what it would take.
If I hadn't hurt my knee and shoulder as bad as I did a few years ago I would be going through this to be a rescue swimmer. I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard and would have loved the opportunity to join their elite group. Thank you to all the men and women not just in the Coast Guard but to all other branches of the military for your service and sacrifice for this country. Stay strong, stay safe, and God Bless.
Seeing this vídeo , i thrilled me . i´m from Brazil , and i have i dream . Go to USCG , But i don´t know if i can , because many people say that you must be born in US to serve .

I'm not a pro at swimming, but I have no problem in the water and I like to freestyle swim. Would this be a problem? Also, what ASVAB score do you need to become a Rescue Swimmer?
You need to score a 65 on the AFQT part of the ASVAB which consists of Arithmetic Reasoning, World Knowledge, Paragraph comprehension, and mathematics knowledge. If you did not reach that score then they will also look at your VE+MC+AS=162 and that contains the Auto and shop information, Mechanical comprehension, and the Verbal ability (world knowledge and paragraph comprehension) part of the ASVAB.
XxSiLvAxXx Considering they undergo some of the same training and are the most widespread branch of the US Military, it wouldn't surprise me. Of course, anyone who makes it through either has earned at least basic bragging rights in my opinion.
@@maverickmo8976 .....to save another's life. It seems much more justifying that way, and your whole job centers around getting the guy saved not blowing something up. Though getting into the military overall was a mistake. I refuse to support the war industry for wars that have no concern w our true safety. I wish I've gotten into CG than the army
They basically have the same training the only major difference is that for the uscg Aviation survival technician is a rescue swimmer dedicated rate and for the navy selected aviation rates go through the training but isn't an official rate
+Kyle Neal appreciate the info. I've heard uscg training is tougher but I have a contract for air rescue in the navy and leave in December. I can honestly say I'm a bit intimidated, but I know that my training will pay off.
Actually, now it's 58%. Keep in mind this is a occupation that is equal to Army Green Baret, Marine Corps Scout Sniper, Air Force Pararescue, and Navy Seals. I still am amazed my dad is a active duty Rescue Swimmer. Unfortunately for me, I want to be Marine Corps Scout Sniper and USCG Rescue Swimmer, so that's gonna be hard
Lisa Kemp my friend is a swimmer, during school, he routinely would go to the pool with his 5 classmate buddies and they would do an underwater for 100 meters or until the blacked out. FOR. FUN. BTW, that group of 5 buddies were the only ones to graduate.
Well what do you know, a military video with no "NWO", OR anti-military video. When the military is doing something good, those armchair revolutionaries are nowhere to be found.
Wanna know how? Every single damn member of the U.S. Military, regardless of branch, are revolutionaries... You can never compare Branches dude. Marines and Army aren't anywhere similar to the Navy and Coast Guard. Each branch has its jobs, and each branch deserves endless thanks... regardless of what you or others think. Its the biggest misconception that Marines and Army are the only badasses (not saying you mean that, but it appears thats what you imply, but hey i could be wrong.) Without the navy, coast guard, air force, marines, and army, we would be fucked... This is a perfect Scenario on how heroes go unheard man lol.
Zamani Johnson thanks, but don't they have the thing on their feet (I don't know the english word) that would allow them to quickly get to surface no matter the depth?
in a male dominated world it will be difficult to accept that women are just as good, and can qualify as anyone else for those spaces. so the answer is extremely simple. put a group of the best selected women in training by themselves, never lowering the required standards, this will ensure that these women compete with themselves, and become the best without the additional strain of male dominance. then after qualifying throw those women in a group of recently qualified men and have a top shutter competition, and add a great prize to it, something significant, and get companies involved to sponsor that prize. this is the only true method of truly understanding who is who, and if men and women can stand side by side in this space. having done that then combining training in the future will become extremely easy if proper attention is payed to the requirements of women to men , in this environment, to me it is that simple. I have worked with women in my past environment where they have the ability to stand, and stand firmly at men's side in every environment, so make it happen, and the possibility of making money doing this becomes extremely easy if understood, and again without lowering standards, so give them their space, and then combine spaces and test, there is no loss to anyone, no loss at all. the cost of starting with twenty-five plus, and ending with five or less to me does not make sense, and there will be failures, this is not the only method to test for dedication to job, there are many other modern methods, many.

Takes a lot of endurance to make through 18 weeks here.
hi, does anyone know how navy rescue swimmers compare to uscg swimmers? I cannot find much information onlinr

shouldnt matter... go in there with the mentality of all in and you will make it

Do you have to go to basic training before A school ? Someone please answer!

someone tell me stright up how hard it is. im an excellent swimmer and got good endurnace i think i could be cut out for it

in a male dominated world it will be difficult to accept that women are just as good, and can qualify as anyone else for those spaces. so the answer is extremely simple. put a group of the best selected women in training by themselves, never lowering the required standards, this will ensure that these women compete with themselves, and become the best without the additional strain of male dominance.
then after qualifying throw those women in a group of recently qualified men and have a top shutter competition, and add a great prize to it, something significant, and get companies involved to sponsor that prize.
this is the only true method of truly understanding who is who, and if men and women can stand side by side in this space.
having done that then combining training in the future will become extremely easy if proper attention is payed to the requirements of women to men , in this environment, to me it is that simple.
I have worked with women in my past environment where they have the ability to stand, and stand firmly at men's side in every environment, so make it happen, and the possibility of making money doing this becomes extremely easy if understood, and again without lowering standards, so give them their space, and then combine spaces and test, there is no loss to anyone, no loss at all.
the cost of starting with twenty-five plus, and ending with five or less to me does not make sense, and there will be failures, this is not the only method to test for dedication to job, there are many other modern methods, many.
I still believe girls aren't biologically as strong, but hey there's still some special few out there who can effectively contend against guys. For true equality to exist, we shouldn't lower any sort of training standard
