What are the swimming sessions like? Is there 25m underwater, 1500m timed, or is it like swim qual?
The helo dunker makes it all worth the pain, it was by far the most fun I had in API.
I loved the helo dunker! Especially sitting on the bleachers watching other peoples reactions! I think it is the most valuable portion of our training.Unless that was sarcasm...you're a strange, strange mammal.

I hate that much of our training is in a semi-unreal scenario...like swimming with a non-fitting unpadded helmet, inflating your vest orally without flipping on my back, etc. I think next LPNV I am going to pop off my helmet when (surprise!) my vest doesn't inflate and use it to float while I inflate that puppy. Oh, and getting a small ass helmet so it doesn't pop over my nose while I swim.
Or just flail and splash until they get sick of watching like the last 3 passes through LPNV...

So much chafing, so much chafing...."Sir, why aren't you frog kicking?!" "Because my harness and G suit are big enough to fit Andre the Giant, and I think the size 19 boot on my right foot just fell off- though the 6 on my left foot is still snugly in place."
The SWET trainer sucks . . . . .I will say everything else in the course was well done and the new SWET Trainer is SOOOOOO much better.

Those goggles jabbed into my eyesI loved the dunker. Though everytime I was blind-folded (blind-goggled?) I swam out the wrong exit. If there's a big-ass opening in the side of the helo irl, I'm getting out!
