Tips for water:
Increase ankle strength.
Get rhythm.
Try to use as little energy as possible.
Practice holding your breath under water (no movement).
Practice holding your breath swimming under water (I do breast stroke and straight dolphin kicks).
Focus on form.
The more you swim the better you get.
Learn to love treading water (if regular treading water is to easy then put your hands/elbows out of the water).

The bolded ones need this added to them..... get very very very comfortable wearing fins, they will beat the crap out of you if you work against them.

Flying out in just over 2 weeks. Hope everyone has prepared to the best of their ability.

I'll only be doing 1 more long ruc, focusing on yoga and a couple sports massages before I go.

Main focus will also just be swimming and for the next week only running.

I've read through the entire land NAV MCI twice so I feel pretty confident in that. As well.

DTS is done gear is packed, anti monkey butt is all ordered. Getting excited

Well.....it happened. I injured my left knee at 15-3. Possible meniscus tear according to my doctor. Got referred to an Ortho for further details and MRI. Wasnt there long but damn what an experience ill never forget. Met some great guys and learned some good stuff. Instructors are extremely knowledgeable. Thank you to everyone here for your helpful tips. To the guys that are going in the future.....freakin SWIM! Swim some damn more even if you think you're great at it. The pool definitely broke candidates.

I am sorry to hear of your injury, and still you pass along the words of wisdom for those following you. Are you able to recycle following the knee repair?

Good luck in your rehab.

The pool is nothing compared to the wide open sea.

 

[Matt1017]

Thank you Gentlemen. My recruiter is looking to see if I'm able to go back since MARSOC has TIG restrictions. If not, I have plans to switch branches. Next step, recover and train harder. I took in a lot of info from A&S and plan to utilize what I learned in my training.

I'm willing to meet some Marines at the New River pool saturday morning for some swim work. Any takers?

Any chance you'll be at the pool this Sunday?

 

[Derdang]

Yeah what time? Your times seem pretty damn good, so might be able to help.
