Game Warden Water Survival

If you're a Texas Game Warden patrolling the water, drowning is a very real danger, especially when you're wearing 20 pounds of gear. That's why some Texas Game Wardens took this swimming lesson on steroids. Here's an underwater view of their water survival training.

Never seen that by any law enforcement before, pretty impressive training -

[@rolandkillin8394]

Texas game wardens are the best!!

[@SALTYCOMBATDIVER-ExInstructor]

It appears similar to 'Recondo' training put on for ROTC students at various military bases. Very good idea! It's incredible that there are amazingly brave individuals who join, including the Navy, without knowing how to swim.

;-; i almost drowned in a pool gahhh i wish that never happened, i still want to pursue this career but i got so anxious watching them.

[@brandooooooz]

I wanna be one so bad but I can’t swim at all.I’m scared of water

[@Rachel-lq9vl]

@@brandooooooz maybe try taking swim lessons? I understand fears of water and stuff but yeah, it might be good to start by learning how to in shallow pools, where you can touch the bottom easily and work from there? or if it's really bad work on just putting your feet in, then your legs, then chest, and eventually going under for a moment and work from there? I wouldn't let your fear stop you from doing your dream job, and it will be all the sweeter when you finally Do make it

Same, I almost drowned in a river and I get really nervous when I see things like this. I don’t mean to but my body freezes and I begin having trouble breathing

[@ShaqDaddyrecords]

[@Chase55tx]

[@betterthanthatvideo]

[@lumnosity]

Velodian with a lot of training, it would 100% be easy.

Come to universal studios and join our jurrasic park team

[@David603B]

I’d rather do this any day than coast guard underwater egress school

[@minydoom]

Just a question, do they have their vests on? They seem to be struggling whilst swimming, I don't know if it is just the weight of clothes, tiredness, or whatever else.

[@Firefred09]

Kai Wadley yes they have vests on.

[@stephenhulsey8257]

There is a misconception that the weight of wet clothes drags one down when in water. Water does not have weight in water. A water filled balloon has virtually no weight in water. Clothes in water actually weigh less than dry clothes because of the water displaced by the clothing fabrics.

[@rururu5630]

Stephen Hulsey The clothes do create a lot of drag! I thought I was an ok swimmer until I tried swimming with othes and shoes. I could hardly move using free style and had to breast stroke.

[@monk729]

@@stephenhulsey8257 clothes create drag! 🤦🏽‍♂️ You can also use your clothes to float.

[@SimsMoyal]

WOOOOOOOOOOW

[@Joetrout]

Some of the fat game wardens I have seen I know for sure they skipped that day!
