WD:

Where are these "very good" swimmers you speak of in the Army? I can say without a doubt that the best swimmers I have encountered in the Army are merely proficient compared to the good swimmers I encountered in the Navy. (This based on my previous experience as a USN rescue swimmer & diver/dive supervisor and my current role as a SF diver/dive supervisor.)

As for preparing for CDQC, either you can sack it up or you cannot. Most guys quit on themselves in the water because they are uncomfortable. Diving in the military sucks. That is just the nature of the beast and why nobody wants to do it.
