Navy Skills for Life - Water Survival Training - Treading Water

[@patrickpatrick9132]

Navy water survival got me out of a bad situation in Florida. My training was in 89

[@Jaaykoraam68]

I’m half Samoan my mom told me when I was like 4 “ you wanna swim son” I replied yes and she threw me into the deep end to learn through survival😂😂 this was all I did in a rapid panicking motion. She then showed me how to do it calm and every since I’ve felt like a fish in water 😅

[@humanheart5229]

He looks so relaxed it is almost ridiculous 😂. You're my role model! (Hashtag learning swimmer- goals)

[@felinelvr27]

It is relaxing when you know how…. You have to learn for scuba diving.

[@Quick_wit.]

Did it before watching video...Stayed 30mins..Now that got tips will try to improvise... Thanks a lot

[@EppingForest304]

Nice technique 👍

[@GratefulBamboo]

I trust the United States Navy much more than influencer KZbinrs when it comes to water survival.

[@adefk]

I learned this when I was 15 the hard way. My cousin pushed me in a deep pool and I nearly drowned. Nobody knows how to help me so I kicked and kicked until I floated.

[@oneyedeagle]

Iwas the same age, but it's a different story. My dad had his fishing hook stuck in a rock in deep water , i had to swim all the way there, and treaded water while trying to take it out. I finally did and swimmed back i was happy that i learned both swimming fast and treading water

[@adefk]

@@oneyedeagle basically we learned on the fly haha... it's funny though that what is being taught here can sometimes be learned by instinct,or by survival for that matter.

[@aestheticqueen15]

Wow I would be mad at them lol

[@zacharybird810]

How would you do this in full clothing.

[@Rawat530]

Its good to practical. Then only speech.

[@writetome9783]

I'm steanding in deep water motionless hold the head above the surface, just in proper breathink technique.

[@AZFiiiNESt602]

I can float for an hour even longer literally without flapping or moving around. Will that be acceptable for treading water in navy basic?

[@GoodBoy-ge3de]

MizAZ DOMiNGUEZ lol no, no it wont

[@kevingatebridge3656]

How?

He’s moving his arms so fast I would think that you’d only use them just enough to keep it at nice level and a nice relaxed way to use at least amount of energy

[@Snowcat89onXbox360]

What about the egg beater kick? I've found it to be much more efficient and comfortable.

[@quanmack6332]

Snowcat89 I been trying to learn how to do that but have had no success. Do you have any links to any videos you found effective ?

[@Magesownyourlawn]

They teach this technique because the egg beater method doesnt work while wearing flight boots, they just pull you down.

[@patrickwalker125]

I learned to tread water real quick when I went down on the titanic, I treaded water for days then ended up catching a ride back to land on a dolphin, man what a ride.

[@wch7584]

is this joke

[@patrickwalker125]

Fo real

[@williamlowry8809]

@@wch7584 It happened to me too, it's a pretty common experience actually

[@prabhukiranz]

ahaha.. bro did u see tat Jack fellow... haa lite big ship.. lol

[@ryanadamtexas]

Amen team no egg beater

[@molliemk3477]

I drown when I use the eggbeater kick. Thank god they said use this one. I think I will survive now.

[@spirit3277]

does it work? I wanna try it.

[@molliemk3477]

@@spirit3277 SO UPDATE: hahaha. I found someone to teach me how to treadwater. They are a pro waterpolo player and they said that eggbeater uses less energy. So really it is what is most comfortable for you/what you prefer. U can do that but I personally think breakstroke kick drained more energy for me after I learned how to eggbeat.

[@spirit3277]

@@molliemk3477 Is it more like a karate kick? I feel it like that.

[@molliemk3477]

spirit3277 No it’s not like karate. You’re supposed to keep the knee bent. If u karate kick u will straighten ur leg fully and u will sink faster. You should find someone to teach u cos I watch a lot of videos and it didn’t help until I found someone to watch me.

[@Veritas-dq2hs]

@@molliemk3477 you were taught the egg beater well. glad to read this.
