Marines Teach Water Survival To Collegiate Swimmers
The Royals Swimming Team at the
Queens University of Charlotte, participate in Marine Corps
water survival training during the United States Marine
Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Marine Corps water survival training’s purpose is to
reduce fear, raise self-confidence, and develop Marines with
the ability to survive in water. The team participated in
some basic Marine water drills, such as inflating the Marine
utility uniform to make flotation devices and swimming 25
meters with rubber rifles.
The Royals Swimming men
and women’s teams have won first place in Division II NCAA
Championships for the past four years.
