Water survival training is training individuals or groups with a high probability of encountering a life or death situation in water. Typically practiced by rescue units, elite military units, and aircraft pilots who may have to ditch over water, this type of training also presents a demanding variant to traditional fitness training. Water survival training not only provides enhancement in many components of fitness (endurance, stamina), but also provides a much needed skill for overcoming water obstacles from a stream crossing to an amphibious landing. The likelihood of panic induced by the water is extremely high, which is why it's important to build confidence and train individuals to react correctly when they find themselves in situations where water survival is imperative. Not only do

| - Water survival training is training individuals or groups with a high probability of encountering a life or death situation in water. Typically practiced by rescue units, elite military units, and aircraft pilots who may have to ditch over water, this type of training also presents a demanding variant to traditional fitness training. Water survival training not only provides enhancement in many components of fitness (endurance, stamina), but also provides a much needed skill for overcoming water obstacles from a stream crossing to an amphibious landing. The likelihood of panic induced by the water is extremely high, which is why it's important to build confidence and train individuals to react correctly when they find themselves in situations where water survival is imperative. Not only do soldiers and rescue units need to concern themselves with water survival; it is a fact that 70% of all people live within one hour of a body of water. The likelihood that one may experience a water survival situation is higher than one might expect. In 2000, there were 3,482 unintentional drownings in the United States, an average of nine people per day. (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
