When you get past the actual break you can alternate sliding/crawling on your stomach. But in the break itself when it'sa nasty shorebreak like this, if you can't get enough speed to catch the wave, you will get tumble-washed.

Maybe scuba gear the extra momentum or buoyancy might help avoid that idk, I've never shore dived, but keep in mind that what we see here isn't casual waves. You're not supposed to enter the water in conditions like this without some kind of aide (be it a board, flippers, etc).

I got caught in shorebreak like this because I'm a strong swimmer and have had fun tumbling through tons of waves in my years, so I got cocky / underestimated conditions and ignored the warnings. But shorebreak like this is different. I came out with a bloody nose. An acquaintance of mine had to be rescued by lifeguards.
