The magical wizard touch from the cadre 😂 “down, you!”
An instructor did that to me in the helo dunker when my black out glasses flew over my eyes onto my forehead when we rolled over 🤣
That's fucking funny. He looked so majestic when he casted that spell 😂
He had soft fingers tho, bro ..lol
He still had some air in his lungs.lol
I was dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Instructor: I will make you a merman by the end of this course 💀
This the one! 😂😂😂
Whatever video i see, it's always an underwater training like they are about to go to war against aquaman.
That's hilarious 😂
More like: every single one who finishes this course will be a merman.
🎵🎶somehow I'll...make mermen...out of you🎶🎶
Massive credit to anyone who is special forces. I feel like this is for crazy people since training is so extensive.
What about special warfare and special operations?
Crazy!? I call it therapeutic lmfao
it’s fun
Probably the most peace they've had the entire time.
this is crazy to think about
No seriously 😂😂
Be downside in water, then tell me about peace🤣🤣
Bro doesn't know shit about water
@@youtubealgorithm5977but ti not hear yelling and constant moving. To just close your eyes and get a break. Yeah. Probably felt good.
You can already tell which guys are going into a “meditative state”of relaxation and which ones are tense about being in the situation. So proud of all these men and women that are trying to achieve becoming as strong as they can be for our country. God bless all of them and thank you all for your service!
I love that the instructors are also holding their breath.
I see one of them surface to breathe.
The instructors are using a lot more energy.
@@Cryotech24 Exactly!
What s the alternative for the instructors then?
@@NoPlus500Drowning 😂
Watching this made me start breathing more rapidly... the fact that these men can do this is amazing!
Me too. I tried holding my breath, under no distress, laying in my bed and only made it half-way. I started panicking.
THANK YOU SPECIAL FORCES FOR KEEPING US SAFE!!
I used to do this in my pool for fun when I was like 12
@@theriddlerUSA You're weak
the mental control required for this is incredible.
water in the nose man😂
@@asura8495and a burn behind the eye😂
It's all to become more comfortable under.. just relax and don't breath 😂
@@user-bm6xu1mi8l 😂 trueeee lol but you say that like humans don’t have to fight a drowning instinct
@@thetwitchywitchy that's where the RELAX part becomes more important 😉
this shi aint easy bro lmao. takes alot of confidence training.
It really does, you keep thinking, "I gotta be the last one up, I've gotta be the last one up."
But then you realize everyones thinking that and you wasted your oxygen since your heart beat went up.
(Just try to relax as much as possible trust me you can double your time than normal, I went from 58 seconds to 1:45½.) I'm still training 🫡
Or drowning im sure id just drown
@@Toothlessthedragon_ i washed out of rescue swimmer school already so this shit dont even matter to me anymore
You need to be ready before you even get there... Some s*** you just can't teach
@@American-BadAss732 cant be ready for everything. doesnt work like that. some aspects of going through a specwar pipeline are skill related, not mental. you think i trained for over/unders in a wetsuit, trisar, helmet, gloves, mask and fins bf joining??😂😂 no bro.
Definition of being “built different”. ❤️
Sometimes yes, Sometimes you can learn that ability.
During training yes but not before
The key is to relax. One you learn to relax you find that you have more oxygen.
A thing that i’ve learned in freediving is that you’re able to hold your breathe a lot longer if you just blank your brain and don’t care about the feeling of suffocation after having your head underwater for 10secs
Ok genius
@@GoergeSkillerhe is correct, the most important step is to relax
Indeed
YT Shorts are too short to show this exercise. This is pretty simple but doing an equalization head down is not an easy task.
This is actually harder than it looks gotta stay in the zone and dont try to breathe 😂
Yeah idk! It looks pretty hard to me. So if it’s actually harder than it looks sheeeeeesh!!!!! I was tryna keep myself calm watching it.
@@YHWHismyLightits way harder than it looks, because the water is flooding into your nose and sinuses since they are upside down, if you’ve ever accidentally gotten water into your nose at the pool its that but worse since there’s a shit ton of water and you can’t so anything about it. That and also you have to know how to be calm in water
@@Monkey45983water does not get into my nose when I go down like that. It gets airlocked
Also though the drown themself. I think that’s why that guy touched the gentleman’s head to see and put him into better position to see when they go limp
@@Monkey45983as long as you blow some water out your nose you should be fine just don’t breathe it in
Grew up doing this stuff since I was 3 out by the Salton Sea!! Then as an adult served In the Navy!!
"IN DEFENSE OF OUR NATION, WE ARE 2ND TO NONE!!" HOO-YAH!! NEXT EVOLUTION!!
It's about discipline so you don't loose your Sh#t when things get real
Don't looooooooose your shit? 😂😂😂 Loose rhymes with goose and is the opposite of tight, and lose rhymes with shoes and is the opposite of win or find.

That second guy to the right, was absolutely stoic underwater. Flushed against the wall and his breathing was (apparently) in control. Mans a beast 🔥🙏
What breathing?
I would hope his breathing is under control, he's under water
Dudes a fucking bat 🦇

he died
The discipline and courage it takes to do this❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah I'd be ringing the bell after this.
Courage? To hold your breath underwater?
LoL bootlicking statists I swear…
I think thats one of the easier parts of their training
@@Gobbldeegoo1the bar far people under videos who do mildly impressive stuff is surprisngly low. I don't know if they wanna be super nice or are just super incapable themselves
@@asura8495 really😮
If you exhale halfway water won't get up your nose. All you have to do is just relax. And don't panic.
That’s the key, exhaling just enough to avoid the nose-clog but also keep enough air in the tank to continue further.
Only real swimmers know that trick. Gives you at least 5-10 extra secs
That might work for others except for me that trick never worked if I exhale even a little underwater I’ll just feel like I urgently need to breath no matter what
@@elmaschimba963same lol
It’s all in your head, mind over matter it’s all about being relaxed under water.
The instructors leading by example holding their breath too 👌🏻👍🏻 Great leaders create great students 👌🏻👍🏻
Outstanding!
👍👍🫡if only we could make our pres do the same😆
They kind of need to to make sure the guys don't drown. You can see them go up for air though. They aren't holding their breath the entire time.
@@RedTail1-1 Ye I know they were coming up for air too. They where lesding by example hence why I writ what I wrote.
Yup! I would definitely fail this training!!! You guys are awesome! Thank you for all you do. 😮

👍👍
Seeing that makes me appreciate their discipline and training even more

@@user-cv1xz2ph4mIt doesn’t require any of that, this isn’t as hard as it looks, idk how long they have to stay like that though so that might be the hard sort. At any time you can just sit up and be out of the water. I used to do this every single day as a child when it was swimming weather. My siblings and I would see who could hold their breath like this every day we swam just about.
@@James_Edward59right?
Calm down they’re just holding their breath for 30 seconds or so. There’s nothing to it.

So even though is not directly the military boot camp intensive
training trains our most and best

I passed out just by watching it
Thumbs up soldiers u r brave ❤
I remember doing this as a kid trying to test my limits. This one time I got too comfortable and forgot I was in a pool, and snorted a nose full of water. It took me all afternoon to mentally recover HAHA.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to experience what these troops go through with their water training.
😂 I’ve done that 😂nothing like EDIT choking(lol sorry fat fingers lol) upside down in a pool with your legs wrapped around the rails lol
I can taste this comment
I did this exact same thing too! We had a pool in our backyard and i would do this ALL the time sometimes for minutes at a time. Always found it relaxing to be underwater.
lol what a dumbass
@@amandalong112lol you said chocking
I could hold my breath for 2 minutes almost on command. That was 20 years ago when I was in the service. Doubt I still got it and I appreciate these guys for doing it now when I can't.
Oh I do this in my own pool it’s VERY relaxing and serene just keep your eyes close and listen to the noises, watch the light through your eyelids, If you get in the zone you can hold your breathe for longer than usual in that position
True I’ve done 2 min holds at the bottom it’s really calming…
Yep, I used to free dive. Sometimes I put my face upside down and held my ankles to see everything attached to and growing underneath a shelf of rock. It's very relaxing, but I imagine things are a bit different for these people 😊
I don’t believe any of y’all have done exactly this cuz no one mentions water going up your nose

Basically a more intense pool course. They are tied up tho and messed with underwater in some exercises @@TheCoster11
@@TheCoster11 Drown proofing. You get a diving mask (the one with a screen for your eyes to see through, covers your nose as well) and they use a hose to put water inside the mask, after which you must stay calm for a certain duration of time. Basically when the instructor feels like it. That's drown proofing: Staying calm under the threat of drowning. Panicking will be the nail in the coffin.
@@angelvollant864 oh man.. And this is for anyone to do? How or where do I start a training like this

They just chillin now

@@Jackripz Yee I’ve been doing water training with the pj’s for a sere position and finding out the hard way that you just gotta man up or figure out the techniques..
Simple, slow, controlled exhale out of the nose keeps the water out, just gotta concentrate on it. Every step can be broken down into processes. Just gotta build them.
@@RobRikerTechChannel💯
@@RobRikerTechChannelthat usually works for me when swimming normally but not when upside down
The amount of mental control a person can have when under emmence pressure blows my mind. Training your mind is a whole othe level of training.
Water confidence is a big thing
My grandfather Arthur Hepworth was a commando instructor in the navy. I remember him telling me how he’d train guys to swim underwater with all this weight on them and the progress they would make after a few months.
Crazy stuff.
Then he told me how my dads mom, my other parents gramma, he saw her one day on the way to a big family dinner at the lake, she was swimming about 2 miles away from the cabin and the ice had just come off the shore. The lake was all ice. Betty Dowell. That blew him away he said.

The fact that those in special forces intentionally choose the hard life! My outmost respect, sirs!! 💯
I'm having hypertension headaches RN and this would probably kill me to do. Any activity where the blood rushes to my head and I'm screaming in pain begging God for mercy. These dudes would probably just beast right through the pain. Glad we've got these modern day Vikings and gladiators clearing corners on America's enemies 😂

America 🇺🇸 has the very best period. I don't know them, but I owe them. Thank you for your service.
The more relaxed you are the more efficient you are with your air supply/breathe hold💯🇺🇸
I can automatically taste the chlorine.
You know chlorine doesn't have a stench? It's actually the breakdown of pee interacting with chlorine that causes the pool smell😂😂😂. I thought the same till I learned it's chlorine breaking down the pee. If you putt chlorine in water you won't smell anything in the water until pee is added😂
I luv our heros God bless them and there families
The thing you can accomplish with
One breath
Damn thats a nice thought
HATS OFF AND THANK YOU !!!!
it takes next level courage just to ATTEMPT tier 1 training
When I went through raider training,I thought I was tough until the The instructor took me to the bottom and held me there,Hands and feet tied at the mercy of a half man half fish,the fear of dying makes most people quit,The one's who pass aren't afraid of death because they are death
👍🇺🇸Truth!
I fear not, for I am fear itself
It’s almost like human beings are supposed to be afraid to die. Because they’re humans. Why is stripping humans of their humanity so normalized
How the Hell can they do that??
That would freak me the F right out!!!
Major balls, these guys!!! 🫡
They are just upside down in water. I've been upside down in water just like this. Keep air pressure in the sinuses so the water doesn't go down your nose and you're good. What would there be to freak out about?
It's only about 31 seconds in this video, but that is about where I would start to run out of breath, maybe 25, my unit did special swim training and had multiple swim instructors in each unit but 25 to 30 seconds if I remember right is when I start to loose breath.
Nice, they get to just chill in the water for training. I can imagine how relaxing that must be after a long day of exercise
The guy who kept his eyes open he's the one I would select.
not a smart idea if that pool is chlorine he wont be seeing anything
@JREwithin you actually can see things in chlorinated water it does Sting your eyes, though, and it's probably not good for them repeatedly doing so.
@@SphereOfStreamingit's probably part of the reason why I'm so blind. Went to the Aquatic Center one day as a kid didn't have goggles so I swam around with my eyes open. Everything was foggy for the rest of the day. I thought I blinded myself
A little too much fun for me. GOD BLESS these guys
Im guessing this is some type of focus under stress test. The blood running to the head underwater is probably disorienting enough so that breathing is difficult and causes a mild panic. Multiple stress factors teaches you to focus on the task at hand
Exactly. Learning to relax and not panic under high stress.
You aren't in gravity...you have buoyancy, so the feeling of blood rushing to your head isn't a thing
Respect for this people 🇺🇸
No way I could hold my breath like that. I appreciate these men’s dedication to endure this type of training. Thank you for keeping us safe and putting fear into our enemies.
Boop, down.....
Boop, down ya go...
This training looks like I’d be a blast.
Yeah, I love sht like this.
It’s actually very peaceful. My father taught me drown proofing at a young age. I remember when I was a little kid he was still a lifeguard on the weekends. He’ll be sitting up in the big chair with the orange shorts and they’ll always be a ton of girls around him, my mother would have to chase him away
this is the scariest training i have ever seen... i have fear of underwater...
That’s no joke that’s intense training and will help them out there on the job!! Give to all yall hands down ❤❤❤❤
How do you control your breathing under water. Ive always tried to expand the time i can spend under water but within 20 seconds my entire body freaks out and i cant stay under for more than 20 seconds
I'd love to give some tips! What is your swimming background? I need to get a feel for your experience to give you some better advice.
Hyperventilate first, then just calm the bell down. Practice practice practice
@@bibbayeet8007 public pools…😅
@@Txpo50 i will do this next time i swim
@NoneOfYourBusinesshgdgsbsbsb Me too, but I have thousands of hours of swimming laps, lol. I meant like a lap swimming background. I'm just going to assume you are a beginner.
In order to hold your breath, you'll need two things: first, you will need to know how to relax in the water. If the water gives you no anxiety, or even better, you enjoy being in the waterir submerged, you will not panic and feel the need to breathe nearly as badly. Second, you need to be an efficient swimmer. I can flail my arms and burn all my oxygen without moving, but that's not the goal as the goal is to get from point A to B most of the time.
In order to achieve both of these goals, the #1 thing you need to do is do the time in the pool. It's just like anything new or daunting. After the first few times, it becomes far less intimidating. Start by just getting from one side to the other (freestyle if you know it) even if it's only for a few laps at first.
As you become more comfortable with moving through the water and increase your distance little by little, start to work on your form. Last time I checked, doing 100m on 1 breath was only mildly challenging. That's only because I can move through the water with relative efficiency. Look up plenty of videos on form and try to improve your stroke and fix any issues with it. Better yet, join a swim club with a coach who can easily pick out the parts of your stroke that need improvement.
As you continue to swim, you will naturally become more comfortable in the water. 20 seconds will feel like nothing in now time. At that point in your swimming journey, you should already know what will improve your breath holding capacity, but hypoxic sets and underwaters to the other side will do some good (probably do these two things strictly when someone is watching over you).
Hope this helps a bit. Feel free to ask questions if you need to :)
Does anyone know how long they stay under?
I'm wondering too
I always say my breaths of fresh air are too precious for me to be holding them.
So what's the purpose of this training?
Overcoming fear is 1, being able to do it and understand how to do it 2
The fear and the ability to do it are the easy aspects of it.
It's implementation of this training while under duress, such as being a POW (being drowned or waterboarded for torture).
This has more than likely saved lives, which is why it's still used.
when do they get to balance a ball on their nose?
U r forcing urself to learn how to relax under a high stress situation to keep from panicking in future high stress situations so u don't get killed and get others killed.
Learning to manage your fear and anxiety. Wether your working to become a Seal, UDT, 0321Recon, Raider 0372, SWCC/SCCO, PJ, Green Beret Dive Team , EOD, SMU's or Water Branch. Pool comp is the number 1 thing you will have to demonstrate before they let you near a RRC, RAC, ZODIAC, RHIBB ... if you cannot manage your fear response in a controlled environment, aka swimming pool where you can absolutely quit at any time and have the ability to grab the sides and touch the bottom , how would you ever manage in the Ocean?
Slowly, breath out yr nose! Wait, they give u a small tank. WSQ!
Thank You from the bottom of my heart! I can't even imagine the hell they go thru during they training
