Swimming 1.5km

phew! what a swim man. didnt manage to make the timing today but i will say its quite close to the passing timing. it was just my 1st practice swim so i am quite satisfied with my timing. i swim continuously for 1.5km in 50mins. i am still 10mins from the passing timing. i think 3 more training should allow me to improve by 5 mins. and another 3 more to 10mins. however i think i should improve my timing to abt 30 mins cause its seriously not easy swimming in the open sea.

My first long distance swimming in open sea was in the GCC (GUARDS CONVERSION COURSE).
For all those out there who still do not know what GUARDS is, its a elite force that is said to be the trump card of SAF. Yes my fellow female friends out there, its not a vocation where we just stand guard of camps. For your info there is a vocation for that. They are called the RP (Regimental Police). As i was saying abt my 1st long dist swim, its 2 km. however we are given floats to swim so in a way its not so scary for you wont sink.

Therefore as compared to the swim b4, this will be more like a test of Strength n not Confidence. Anyway after my 1st practice swim, i am at least more confident that i can actually make it. oh ya, b4 anything i just wanna say that i was once a diver. thats what they call those who cannot really swim in the army. Yup, i am not a very good swimmer. but i am now training to be a better one. So for all those interested, lets wait n see the outcome of my training. i will constantly update my training timings on blog.

ONCE A GUARDSMAN...
