Sailors perform the prone or "dead man's float" to qualify as 2nd class swimmers during qualifications training. The Pearl Harbor-based SAR swimmers practice various types of escape and release maneuvers to prepare for rescues involving combative or panicky victims as well as helicopter, forecastle and rigid hull inflatable boat rescues. The swimming instructors, assigned to the Afloat Training Group, Middle Pacific (ATG MIDPAC), provide SAR proficiency training, 2nd class swim testing, and SAR candidate training. U. S.
