Week 10 Leadership Lab

Week 10 Leadership Lab

This Leadership Lab is one that many of the Cadets had to prepare for all semester since it is a qualification they needed to pass. It is the Combat Water Survival Test(CWST) which is broken down into 5 categories they must pass all of them to become qualified.They did this training at NEIU since Loyola does not have a pool. We headed over at 5am and did not finish till 8am.

First event is 10 minute Swim.

The Cadets had to Swim 10 minutes without touching anything

Some Cadets are weak swimmers so they choose easier methods of swimming

Second event is 5 minutes of Treading Water
