Sorry @elariosa95 you might be too busy dropping 'pedoes so I'll take this one.

When I did NIFE in 2024 we did the basic swim qual stuff (treading water, mile in a flightsuit, etc.) while waiting in student pool before classing-up. Then at the very end of NIFE, after the Cessna flights, we did "Physio" which consists of the helo dunker and more intricate swim stuff led by swim rescue guys plus some land based stuff, hypoxia training, etc.

Unpopular opinion: the helo dunker was fun

Disclaimer: for the blindfolded run, I was seated right next to the window, so I was able to get out immediately lol

don't they give a ridiculous amount of time to complete it?

I think it’s 80 minutes or so, but you do it in a flight suit that may or may not fit you.

Your two choices are a flight suit that’s super tight and restricts your breathing and movement or a flight suit that’s super baggy and creates a ton of drag so you have to work harder. No in-between 😔
