swimming<br />
Swimming is a basic survival skill and the<br />
swimming training at the Academy is designed<br />
to reduce fear of water, instil self-confidence<br />
and develop the ability to survive in aquatic<br />
environments. Besides its numerous health<br />
benefits, swimming also has many psychological<br />
benefits. A swim session at the pool can relax a<br />
cadet’s mind and uplift his spirits. He achieves<br />
endurance and learns to be a team player — skills<br />
that are critical in the Armed Forces.<br />
An NDA cadet is required compulsorily to<br />
pass the 200m freestyle and the 10m jump to<br />
graduate. The Academy has two full Olympic size<br />
swimming pools, with the third one coming up in<br />
the near future.<br />
