Summary
A Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival (MCIWS) observes recruits with Fox Company, 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, under water during swim qualification training on Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Sept 29, 2020. Swim qualification is one of the first graduation requirements recruits face in training. As a part of the test, recruits learn to quickly shed heavy equipment that could pull them underwater, safely leap into deep water, use issued equipment to stay afloat and keep their heads above water while wearing a full utility uniform.
