Hello gentlemen,
As I previously have stated on SOCNET, (I will attach the link at the end of this thread) I will be attending Pre-Scuba 16MAY-27MAY. Being that I complete Pre-Scuba, on the 31MAY I will attend SFCDQC and the scheduled graduation date is 02JUL. I am here to ask questions on specific tasks as they are unclear and I hope some of you if not most can guide me so I can train to the standards. Currently on the other site, my first set of questions was answered.
Questions that I still have are as follows:
Currently the one event that is kicking my butt while practicing is treading water for two minutes with my hands and ears out. I can tread the water for two minutes, but once I reach the 1:15 mark I am beginning to struggle. Now, one of my friends goes down to the pool with me in the morning and afternoon. He's been trying to teach me the eggbeater method but I cannot get it down. He can tread water for two minutes no problem. Is there another method to practice - or do you recommend I keep practicing?
For the Weight Belt Swim is says that the UDT recovery stroke is the most common used. What is it?
Underwater Knot Tying. Do you have to tie all your knots in one breath? Or do you tie your knots one at a time or as many as you can? On
www.specialoperations.com they have a section where you can view videos and they have knot tying - in which they tie one knot at a time. I am not sure if this footage was taken at the Keys.
Surface Swim. What do you wear, and is there a specific type of stroke or method during this swim?
Thank you for your time,
-Robertson
