He does get "some" help..or at least they did when I went. They took the "aqua-rocks" to the shallow end to some help. But get him some swimming lessons now...

make sure he can swim breast stroke, side stroke, and back stroke. as long as he can do that and tread water for a few mins he'll be fine and get at the least a swim qual 4. i don't remember any of the DIs giving recuits any "help", but i may be wrong about how it is now or how it will be in the upcomming months/years. i know i didn't get any help.....

they will teach him in boot camp alright. He will learn real fast when they push off that diving board
