00:01.770 --> 00:03.230
- Swim qual for our recruits

00:03.230 --> 00:05.643
is the basic water swim qualification.

00:05.643 --> 00:08.400
(water gurgling)

00:08.400 --> 00:09.690
They start off, they come in.

00:09.690 --> 00:12.620
They do a 25-meter
shallow water assessment.

00:12.620 --> 00:14.330
They go down to the deep end.

00:14.330 --> 00:15.860
They jump off the 10 foot tower

00:15.860 --> 00:18.637
and do a 25-meter conduct self rescue.

00:18.637 --> 00:20.312
- Get over here.

00:20.312 --> 00:21.562
Hustle, hustle.

00:22.465 --> 00:25.470
(water splashing)

00:25.470 --> 00:28.120
- They'll do a four minute
float and stay on surface.

00:29.919 --> 00:32.910
(water bubbling)

00:32.910 --> 00:36.030
And then after that they'll
do a shallow water gear shed.

00:36.030 --> 00:38.690
They have ten seconds and
one breath to go underneath,

00:38.690 --> 00:41.692
shed all their gear and
come back up to the surface.

00:41.692 --> 00:43.378
- [Instructor] Seven!

00:43.378 --> 00:44.500
Eight!

00:44.500 --> 00:46.850
- I would tell any poolie
that's coming to bootcamp

00:46.850 --> 00:49.110
that swim qual is a
graduation requirement.

00:49.110 --> 00:50.670
So if you know that you're struggling

00:50.670 --> 00:51.850
in some areas in the water,

00:51.850 --> 00:53.280
you know, I would recommend brushing up

00:53.280 --> 00:55.030
on those areas before you get here.
