USMC swim qual: A day some dread
A basic swim qualification is the minimum requirement for all Marines. However, each Marine has the opportunity to progress to Water Survival Advanced ? the third level of qualification. There are eight total levels Marines can qualify through, all of which require Marines to wear camouflage utilities.
To achieve the basic qualification, Marines must swim 25 meters, shed their gear in the shallow end of the pool, swim 25 meters while maintaining possession of a pack, jump off a 25-foot tower, and tread water for five minutes. Each level of training provides more challenging tasks such as jumping off of a higher platform, swimming longer distances, and treading water for longer periods of time.
