Recruits with Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, conduct swim qualification training aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Dec. 8, 2020. Swim qualification is one of the first graduation requirements recruits face in training. As a part of the test, recruits learn to quickly shed heavy equipment that could pull them underwater, safety leap into deep water, use issued equipment to stay afloat and keep their heads above water while wearing a full utility uniform. The target audience for this video is for enlistment applicants and future Marines. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Daniel Johnson)

Swim Survival Skills Training (S3T) – Rear Head Hold Escape (#3 – option 2)

Take a deep breath and tuck your chin down, turn your head to either side, and raise your shoulders to protect your throat. Take a strong stroke, clap your hands above your head three times and submerge instantly. This drags the victim below the water and typically releases the grasp from the rescuer in order to get back to the surface. If the victim does not release the grasp, apply pressure to the victim’s brachial pressure points (located inside of the upper arm, above the elbow). Swim underwater away from the victim.

Swim underwater and away from the victim and return quickly to the surface.

Swim Survival Skills Training (S3T) – Single Armpit Level off and tow (#5 – option 1)

If the time allows, remove the helmet and gear before attempting the rescue. Approach the victim slowly and asses the situation. Grab the victim’s armpit with the hand, use the right hand for the victim’s right armpit or left hand for the victim’s left armpit victim. Position sideways to the victim and place elbow in the center of the victim’s back. Pull with the hand that is not in the victim’s armpit while pushing with the elbow that is in the victim’s back to place the victim horizontally on the water’s surface, face up. Towing arm should be straight and along the side. Use the lead arm (bottom arm) to execute short, vigorous pulls. Execute a scissor or inverted scissor kick in a continuous and vigorous manner. Use either free breathing or explosive breathing during the tow. During free breathing keep your head above the water’s surface and continuously reassure the victim. During explosive breathing, put the head under the water to plane off the rescuer’s body angle and reduce drag. Execute approximately two strokes, then lift the head up to breathe and reassure the victim. Return the head back underwater for the next few strokes.

Swim Survival Skills Training (S3T) –Wrist Tow (#5 – option 4 )

Use the wrist tow method to rescue a victim who is floating face down. DO NOT use the wrist tow on a struggling victim. If time allows, remove your helmet and gear before attempting the rescue. Approach the victim from the front and grasp the underside of the victim’s left wrist with the left hand or the victim’s right wrist with the right hand. Ensure that your thumb is on the underside of the victim’s wrist. Lean back, pulling and kicking strongly to move the victim into a horizontal position. Twist the victim’s wrist to rotate the victim into a face position. Swim towards safety using a lifesaving stroke. Keep a firm grip on the victim’s wrist ad keep your pulling arm fully extended and along side. This prevents drag. Ensure the victim’s head does not go underwater during the recovery.
