Swimming in full combat gear, including a plate carrier and rifle, is nearly impossible and highly dangerous due to the weight and buoyancy issues. Even a plate carrier and helmet alone make swimming unsustainable. Professionals use specialized Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) for water operations, but these can restrict breathing with a full kit. Quick-release systems are crucial for emergency egress from water.
This video from Nutnfancy focuses on an ocean survival vest and the essential gear for man overboard scenarios, particularly relevant for Pacific coast operations. It covers hypothermia prevention, signaling devices (PLB, strobe, whistle, mirror), on-water flashlights, knife selection (shark and utility), boat emergency supplies, PFD choice, VHF radio, GPS use, and yachting lanyards. The content emphasizes preparedness for water-related activities and potential survival situations.
