I’m half Samoan my mom told me when I was like 4 “ you wanna swim son” I replied yes and she threw me into the deep end to learn through survival😂😂 this was all I did in a rapid panicking motion. She then showed me how to do it calm and every since I’ve felt like a fish in water 😅

Navy water survival got me out of a bad situation in Florida. My training was in 89

I trust the United States Navy much more than influencer Youtubers when it comes to water survival.

I learned to tread water real quick when I went down on the titanic, I treaded water for days then ended up catching a ride back to land on a dolphin, man what a ride.

I learned this when I was 15 the hard way. My cousin pushed me in a deep pool and I nearly drowned. Nobody knows how to help me so I kicked and kicked until I floated.

How would you do this in full clothing.

I'm steanding in deep water motionless hold the head above the surface, just in proper breathink technique.

What about the egg beater kick? I've found it to be much more efficient and comfortable.

He’s moving his arms so fast I would think that you’d only use them just enough to keep it at nice level and a nice relaxed way to use at least amount of energy

I can float for an hour even longer literally without flapping or moving around. Will that be acceptable for treading water in navy basic?

[Rawat]

Its good to practical. Then only speech.

I drown when I use the eggbeater kick. Thank god they said use this one. I think I will survive now.
