From my sister who graduated 11/27, the swim quals isn't difficult. Form is not so important as the ability to just swim the distance in the time allotted. However, good form is the key to faster and more energy efficient swimming.
Two of my wisdom teeth have broken through the gums so far and I haven't felt or soon an issues so far. We'll just have to see what happens when the other two start coming in lol but thanks I guess I'll just wait until boot camp. I'm just a little worried about it putting me behind.

Oh, ok, that's good. I've never really been a great swimmer when it comes to form. I didn't learn until I was like 10 and from there I never really learn much more lol but like I said earlier, I can swim the distance pretty easily. I don't ship out until August 26th, so I guess I have some time to practice
