Description

In the world of military selection, water is known as “The Great Equalizer.” Some of the best athletes and toughest warriors on land have been crushed when thrown into challenging water events. While superior fitness and mental fortitude can get you through nearly any challenge on land, the water is a completely different beast. To thrive, it’s not enough to be a good swimmer. That’s only the beginning. In this book, Dr. Allan explores his Five Pillars of Military Water Confidence: UnderwatersTreading Equipment controlFloatingFinningFor each pillar, he takes a detailed look at the technique requirements and offers programming suggestions tailored for novice, intermediate and advanced candidates. Beginning with his two specialties, Underwaters and Treading, Dr. Allan shares the keys to maximizing your efficiency including form cues, drills plus how to troubleshoot your way out of any existing bad habits.These aren’t the only skills you’ll need to thrive at any water-based selection course (BUD/S, A&S, Basic Reconnaissance, Combat Diver, Rescue Swimmer, Law Enforcement and others). But mastery of these pillars will provide the foundation for you to meet any challenge in the water and bring you one step closer to getting selected. Read more

Not just a great read, but also a great resource.
Format: Kindle
I have friends that prepare young men and women for military service and different selection programs. I read this and found this to be a well written and well laid out plan on how to build confidence in the water.

There are also some workout plans that give you a structure to build off and work towards improvement. Now the most important resource I found on the Kindle version is the links to videos that allow you to see the techniques described in the text (how many books not only show you what they're talking about by letting you see it in video form?). ... show more
