SEAL instructor

i posted few days ago about my pst swim time (around 12:00)--just talked to a SEAL mentor and said i sound like a good canidate and that he can shed mins off my swim time--in fact he said within a few mins of talking with him i'll make improvements. obviously he knows what hes talking about, but i really don't want to join the NAVY and not be able to have a competive swim score.--any thoughts.

I haven't been to BUD/s so I'm not talking from experience but do you really think it's a good idea to go to the toughest military training in the world un-prepared?

Get in the pool. Swim. Push. Sit. Pull. Run.

Repeat.

Repeat..

Repeat...

...you get the idea!

I will use **** Couch's book as a reference since I was never a SEAL. He mentioned that during Indoc, future BUD/S candidates were taught a method that a civilian swim instructor had devised for long distance competetive swimmers . Some instructors, after admitting that SEALS are very wary of outsiders, finally tried this guys methods and trimmed significant times off of their swims. So now they teach it (the method) in indoc. I don't know the guys name or if he has a book out on the method but try googling it and see what you come up with. Hope this helps.

How odd, after posting I see you can't use the short name for Richard on here. It uses astericks. That's hilarious.

i just started reading Warrior Elite for the 2nd time at MEPs today and the guy the instructors were referring to was the guy who wrote that "total immersion" book or whatever. Terry Laughlin.
