Too many people tell me that because they are short that they cannot swim as fast as a taller person. Well here is proof to the contrary. Optimally speaking taller people have an advantage in pulling more water / kicking with more power BUT I have seen many guys well below 6ft in height swim 68 min zone on the 500yd combat swimmer stroke / side stroke. ALL TECHNIQUE and CONDITIONING...

We are NOT trying to make Olympians we are trying to get people proficient in the water for Spec Ops jobs

Combat Swimmer Stroke breakdown. Kick off the wall, double arm pull, CSS stroke cycle of Pull, breathe, kick, glide. https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blog...

Top arm pull is a freestyle arm pull.

Bottom arm is more similar to a breast stroke scull (not a full stroke to your side) BREATHE during the bottom arm pull.

Turn to breathe do not lift your head up to breathe.

Kick can either be a scissor kick or a breast stroke kick BUT when swimming with fins you need to learn scissor / flutterkicks.

Kick hard / pull hard = glide fast.

You don't have to be a competitive swimmer to ace Spec Ops Training, you just need to be good and comfortable in the water.
