Hey man thanks for your honesty.  It sounds like we are in the same boat. Yea I hear you self dicipline is a mother.  What is your pool workout looking like now?   I know a lifeguard at my pool who says he's in the Navy and going to challenge the SEAL program.  But he says he only swims 2x a month just like your friend.  I think SEALS need to be swimming just as much as PJs to survive BUDS.  They gotta do that 50m underwater too, and that takes practice man!

from spectactics.com it seems that we won't have to do that, but don't count on it!  Im learning to expect the unexpected and don't count on anything.  When I took my PAST months ago, the PJ switched the order around to throw us off.  I'd been training in the particular order, but it really messes with your head.  So expect the unexpected!

I have Stew Smiths Spec Forces training book too, but for the PJ workout he doesnt emphasize how important the 25m underwaters are as he only has 1X a week if even that.

This is what Ive been doing this week in the pool:

25 meter underwaters 7X @ 2:30 rest (starting at underwater)

Then Mask and Snorkle retrieval 20 meters 3X @ 2:30 rest (starting after retrieval.)

Then with mask and snorkle on, practice frog kick to help my underwaters, since most of the propulsion comes from the kick.  I do it maybe 10 laps.

Then treading water for 2:10 hands up, then tread until 9:00, then hands up for the last 1:00 for total of 10:00.

Then buddy breathing by myself without mask.  I do this by starting at the deep end and pass the snorkle back and fourth while egg beating until I get to the other side of the pool.  Every other breath I pass it up.

Im pretty tired by the end of all that.  I usually lift weights after that, but sometimes Im too damn tired!
