Hello,

Even while it would be beneficial if you knew how to swim, it is not actually required because we discourage using your energy to freestyle swim in an emergency scenario, which is why we have enough effective lifejackets on board and all training involves donning an appropriate lifejacket.

However, you will need to be qualified for a wet environment and practise by leaping from great heights into pools, as well as doing other feats while wearing a life jacket.

In a group emergency, you have your lifejacket, unless you are in a single event where you went overboard alone and would have to swim to be retrieved.

Thank You
