if you want to accelerate learning how to swim, recommend finding a swim trainer and then doing that very regularly.

so those are the minimum qualifiers? always thought it would be much tougher than that.

Good luck!

when i first was going to sign up and got tested about two years ago the ex navy seal who was running the tests ( he musta been in his mid 50s) told me he was just like me when he first ran the test, having zero knowledge of the water he trained for six months and well the rest is history

also the recruiters all talked about one particular guy who was a freak of nature in terms of fitness 200 pushups in two minutes 50 dead hang pull ups, but he didnt have a clue how to swim, he sank like a rock during the test, he was instructed by the seal and in only a week of practice did the 500 yards in 9 minutes (just enough to qualify)
unfortunately for that guy, he just about shattered his knee in the second to last week of training, was medically disqualified permanently from the navy.

and thanks times roman! hopefully lady luck shines bright on me in my dreams!
