Recruits with Mike Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, conduct swim qualification training aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, S.C. Dec. 8, 2020. Swim qualification is one of the first graduation requirements recruits face in training. As a part of the test, recruits learn to quickly shed heavy equipment that could pull them underwater, safety leap into deep water, use issued equipment to stay afloat and keep their heads above water while wearing a full utility uniform. The target audience for this video is for enlistment applicants and future Marines. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Daniel Johnson)
