Navy aviation rescue swimmer?




Mark S


Is there a difference between the AIRR and the ARSS rescue swimmer schools? It seems like they are just labeled differently but are the same. What ive read says someone getting an awr/aws rating has to go thru the 7 week ARSS but the physical fitness guidelines don't look to be different than the AIRR swimmer program.... Is there a difference in the swimming school at all other than what ive read them labeled as?


Answer
Rescue swimmer is NOT a Navy Rate

it is an additional duty that aviation rates can do.

ARSS - aviation rescue swimmer school
AIRR - is aviation rescue swimmer

There is just one swimmer school - ARSS


All aviation rescue swimmers are trained as either a AWS or AWR Rate

Swimmer school is 25 days long
Your Rates A school can be from 6 months to 10 months long

A majority of your time will be spent doing your rate, not as a rescue swimmer

what makes the best swimmer?

what do you need to be a good swimmer?
biological characteristics?
like...
major muscles and anotomy?
im doing this for a project so if you can give citations so i can check em out too.



Answer
swimmers generally have HUGE shoulders (which are a b****h if you're a girl) and fairly skinny legs. muscles are like deltoids, rhomboids, lats etc. also it helps if you're tall, but not necessary. also other people mentioned hairless. swimmers shave down before big meets, any other time of the year, you can tell a swimmer (at least a gir) by the amount of hair she has on her legs. real teams you aren't allowed to shave until the night before a big meet (i.e, junior olympics, natls, olympics etc.). the guys shave too, and you shave EVERYTHING legs,arms,back,armpits. sry there's no citations, i'm just giving you info from my experience.
