I can't Tread Water!

[Shinji Ikari]

But i can swim from point A to B with breaststroke. speed and distance is not a problem. however, i can't seem to float in a single location.

During the online national service quiz i listed i can somewhat swim. Will we be required to do exercise like thread water while holding rifles in NS?

No lah. To pass swimming, just need to swim 50m breast stroke in swimming trunk. Anyway, I also didn't pass swimming but also went through alot of water activities, like river crossing and coastal hook exercises.

As long as not Navy or worst NDU, then should be fine. Anyway, Navy's Cat 1 Survival Swimmer test was also ******** back then when I took it but now dunno got any changes or not though.

Wouldn't you know whether you are in NDU before you even enlist?

If I'm not wrong NDU is mono-intake, meaning recruits go directly into NDU for BMT.

Commandos is also mono-intake, as is certain armoured battalions too.
