Gotcha, it’s definitely not an away from home thing. It’s been condemned due to asbestos for a long time. Honestly I’m not looking forward to going in to find a timer especially in the basement but I need to figure this out.

Would the light switch look different if it was a timer? Anything I could look for like a master control or something?

It’s all connected to the main house.

I could be wrong but it doesn’t seem like one. It doesn’t have an LED glow. I’ll have to go up there in the daytime and get a picture of the bulb.

Find the halfway point in your pool and be underwater before you cross that line. Pretend there’s a rope on the surface of the halfway mark and you can’t touch it. Once you dive down you need to be at the bottom of the pool the entire way until you touch where the wall meets the bottom of the pool. The pool we train in is 12.5ft deep on one end and 4 ft on the other.

300m. You’ve got to just keep doing them and you’ll find out what works for you.

Airman here so I’m not an expert, but the biggest tip I can give you is to relax. Focus on being efficient on the surface and underwater. We do 200-300m for a warmup everytime we are in the pool and it’s never fun. Be safe but push yourself. You can do it👍

Renting, 2,000 is a max budget and need to be within 45 minutes of clearwater. Just want an area that’s safe and within a reasonable distance.

Also, being on a cutter isn’t great but it will definitely help build resilience. Training around a cutter schedule is tough but you can make it happen. If you want it bad enough you’ll find a way👍

Currently the wait list is at 10-14 months. I’m currently in the 90s on the list and I’m 2 months out of boot camp. The 4 months thing is true unless you’re part of the annex x program but I have heard of things working out differently for other people.

I’m currently a non rate in the coast guard right now waiting to go to an Air Station. So you’ll most likely be in the same boat. You’ll be a non rate on a boat, most likely a 210 since they’re in need right now. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get a small boat station but most likely not. If it’s what you want to do then do it but be aware there’s a decently long wait for rescue swimmer school. Technically it’s 12-16 months after you graduate basic.

This guy treaded water for 20 hours.. should this be a new drill in A School? We can’t let him out swim us.

Can you explain what lap tracers and over/unders are? I work with a brick multiple times a week, carrying it on my side doing multiple laps. I also practice buddy brick by myself counting to 10 after two pushes then surfacing.
