We lost three "aqua rocks" during swim quals before flight school. However, swimming in a flight suit, then swimming with flight gear, does suck,
They also taught us a technique called, "drown proofing". Which we affectionately named, "drown assurance proofing".
When I travel, I always stay at a place with a pool. I swim after work, doing the "crawl" we were taught in the Navy. My head stays up and in 20 minutes I feel great. Washes the day off.
