BMT 50m Breaststroke Swim

potty SG

HI, I'm enlisting in a few months time and would like to know, will it be very disadvantageous if one does not know how to swim? I can swim but cannot tread water, which means I am as good as a non-swimmer since I cannot stay afloat. Will that compromisemy ability to get into SISPEC or OCS? Also, will BMT be more difficult because one can't swim?

BMT requirement is only 50m in breast stroke if you can swim that then it's okay.

May I know if any other aspects of BMT requires swimming? E.g. field camps or missions etc? Or you will only swim once in the entire duration of BMT?

Anyway you do not even need to know how to swim to get thru army. I could not swim for nuts during the entire duration of my NS, am in combat vocation even if so.Just that any dangerous water exercise, you have to put white tape on your helmet........
