  Those are survival tests. It only tests survival and fitness, nothing about how well you can swim.

  this kind of treatment is of the past. If they do this now, sure get complained by overprotective parents like what liaoz.
  
  When I learn swimming during PTP that time, 3/4 of the time is doing pushups at the side of the swimming pool lor, than the actual lesson.
  
  Then hor got once, got this big F (some Lt Col or something) came to the pool and saw the PTI punish us, then jitao he called the PTI over and scolded him or something hahahahaha. SHIOKS!

  im a diver.
  
  they teach u how to swim is bluff one.
  
  go to the BMTC pool.... so f-ing smelly coz they never change/chlorinate water.
  
  then, after a few wayang lessons, they make u put on the life jacket.
  
  if u can swim with the life jacket at the end of the lessons, can already.
  
  now... i ORD already.
  
  im still a diver.
