Failed Swim

I'm guessing you mean the prone float as well because that's the only 'timed' portion of the test. You start out with like 2 minutes to see if you can do it, then if you do well you continue. For me it was all about trying to stay calm, the minute you freak out you will get pulled out of the pool. It's nerve racking but he can do it. Also, remove yourself from other individuals in the area if you can. I went to the back left hand side of the pool so I didn't have others pulling on me---my question is, is the want him to come home more important than what he went in to do? I completely understand missing him, I left my two daughters behind when I went to RTC. He can do it, I would just stress it and that you guys support him no matter what his decision is...
