(4-Days / 40-hours)

The Solutions Group International (SGI) Tactical Scout Swimmer - TSS™ course was developed to provide the requisite skills-set for tactical infiltration of reconnaissance / surveillance personnel, marksmen / observers, and assault force / entry team members. This formal training program is modeled from the combat swimmer programs of the U.S. special operations community and is one of the most comprehensive and progressive courses of its kind found outside of the U.S. Special Operations Command.

Students will be required to participate in a progressive daily physical conditioning program and surface finning / tactical swimming exercises of 500 to 3000 meters in length. Students are tested and required to satisfactorily pass an inventory swim / drown proofing / water survival test on training day two. Except for the initial finning exercise, all swimmer exercises are conducted full mission profile while equipped with weapon and rucksack / swimmer bundle under real-world conditions. Students will be placed in team leader and subordinate leadership roles throughout the course in order to polish leadership, planning, and operational skills-set.

Graduates of TAC-SWIM will be thoroughly qualified to lead, plan, coordinate, train personnel, and conduct tactical swimmer operations under various weather and environmental conditions in a hostile / non-permissive tactical environment while operating as a member of a tactical scout swimmer team.
