Had a relaxed week last week. It may seems not relaxed at all, but I think that it can be considered as relaxing. Monday (26th Nov), didn't do much thing. Basically all admin stuff. We collected our diving equipment. Sounds cool huh! It consist of a dive bag, diving knife, diving gloves, diving fin, diving booties, diving mask and a diving suit.
Before that, did our IPPT. I was very satisfied with my performance! Had diver gold for my IPPT. Hopefully it will maintain that way.
2.4km run - 8.52min
Pull up - 13
Shuttle run - 9.5s
Sit up - 50
Standing board jump - 245
Tuesday did a timed run. The requirement to pass is to clear 2km within 10mins, if not won't get to book out on friday. Of course, I cleared it. Ran with all I got. hehx.
Wednesday we were introduced about drown proofing. We are suppose to swim all the way down to 4m that day. We also did some finning, meaning wearing the fin and swim. I was not very good and was being taught one to one by my training officer, felt stressful but better too.
Thursday morning did some static PT. After that we went to change our old equipments to new ones. Afternoon went to Nee Soon Camp to do drown proofing. Oh ya, haven't explain what's drown proofing is about. It consist of 6 different component. Firstly, our hands and legs will be tied, swim 75m, do floating, followed by bobbing, then do forward somersault in the water, then backward somersault, lastly pick up the diving mask.
Floating is a kind of skill similar to treading water. Treading water can use hands and leg while floating can't. Difficult to explain here, if there's a chance, will show u guys next time.
For bobbing, we need to go down all the way to 3m, and kick ourselves up out of the water to breathe and go down 3m again. It need to be done 15 times.
For the somersault and retrieving of the diving mask, we are doing it at the depth of 3m too.
It's not easy, but achievable. I'm trying hard to complete all these action 1 by 1. Please wish me luck!
Friday, had introduction to sea circuit. Shall explain what's sea circuit next time. Lazy to type! =pPp But can u imagine that I swam 1km? Spent 39mins in the water. Its hard. Its harder when u can onli breathe in and out just using ur mouth.
Booked out on friday night. So shiok. Hopefully it goes the same for this coming week!
Went to watch enchanted with Xiaohui yesterday. It was a nice show. You should watch it too if u haven't. =p Enjoyed myself yesterday. Had a relaxing day! Thanks for accompanying me ar!
