<p>I was wondering what kind of swimming training cadets actually do at the Academy- I've heard mixed messages from people who say that you really need to only pass the swim test (150 yards, tread 5 minutes) On the other hand, on the PFE page on the CGA website it recommends training for the survival at sea program. What exactly is it, and how much swimming experience is needed?</p>
<p>It is best to have some swimming skill but my understanding is that they teach you what you need to know.</p>
