  • The swim test includes an underwater swim (not sure how far) so obviously they want to train on that DanDuring Navy Seals BUD/S candidates must swim 50 M underwater. However, every reliable source will tell you; never train for this on your own or even supervised by under-qualified individuals. Most will recommend you become a competent swimmer and leave underwater training to the BUD/S instructors who know exactly what they are doing. The risks of shallow water blackout are well documented and all too often end in tragedy. YouTube of BUD/S underwater test. www.youtube.com/watch
