In Navy Boot Camp we had to jump in to the deep end of Olympic size swimming pool swim two links fully clothed and then Wade for another 10 minutes in the deep end. I sure could’ve used a cop to jump in and save me it!

THAT sucked!

When I was 13 I took the Seaman's survival swimming test at camp. We were brought out into the middle of the Neuse River, dressed in blue jeans and a long-sleeve shirt.

Went over the side, had to remove our pants, tie off the legs, inflate them, and use them as a flotation device, and tread water for 30 mins as the tide was coming in.
