Navy SEALs BUD/s Warning Order Help?

Question

I've been doing the BUD/s warning order for quite some time now. And now I'm at the point where it's suggested I swim 45-75 min in fins, but I have no access to fins or an area in which I can train with them. Should I keep on doing my normal swim PT with no fins in replacement of that? or will that significantly lower my training progress for BUD/s?

Answer 1

If your swimming already, you have somewhere to swim.



You can by fins at any sporting goods stire.



Just buy a cheap pair for $20.00



Fins really wear your calf's out, thats why you practice with them.



If you really cannot get fins or swim with them.



Then do calf exercises.

Answer 2

You really should get fins. I followed the Warning order a few years back, when I did not have fins and then again a few months back when I did, and you NEED FINS. Your swimming with fins is a MUST and will help you out in BUD/S.



But remember, don't stop swimming merely because you dont have fins

Answer 3

I have talked to a former Navy SEAL, and he told me, that they give you that after you have passed the PST. I have tried it for a little bit, its a good work out to follow, but I think you need to up the intensity of training if you plan on going to bud/s. like the other post, nothing will prepare you for bud/s, but the bud/s warning order will only help a little. you need to train more than that though for the SEALs.

Answer 4

you need to learn to fin swim. you swim in an entirely different way and you need to get your body used to it. you can keep swimming w/o, but it's like running to prep for the tour de france.



if you absolutely cannot get a hold of some fins, then get a snorkel and start doing bike kicks with no arms, thats the closest thing you've got.

Answer 5

u need to get some fins or u will be at a severe disadvantage during BUD/s you will be behind

go to a local store and pick up some cheap fins its better then nothing
