Welcome to the Tactical Fitness Report! In this live episode, former Navy SEAL and Tactical Fitness Coach Stew Smith breaks down how to transition from "beating up the water" to mastering elite water confidence and absolute efficiency in the pool.

Whether you are prepping for Navy SEAL, Air Force PJ, USMC RECON, or Navy EOD selection, mastering your pool skills is the difference between getting selected and getting dropped. In this session, we review user-submitted footage to correct the most common errors in the Combat Swimmer Stroke (CSS), including poor streamlined body position, mistimed kicks, and breathing sequence failures. We also dive deep into essential second-phase pool skills like treading, drownproofing, and underwater comfort.

Stick around until the end for our LIVE QA session, where we answer your direct questions about special ops selection, PST programming, and military fitness testing!

How did you do this week? No drama. No judgment. Just data and facts.
Welcome to another Friday Accountability Day episode! Today, we are stripping away the emotional noise and looking at our week through a purely objective lens. Remember: there is no "good" or "bad" feedback—it is just feedback.

When you look at your results as neutral data points, you remove the guilt and shame that often stall progress. In this episode, we break down how to evaluate your week so you can pinpoint what to keep, what worked, and what didn't—and, most importantly, why.

Learning from your friction points is the ultimate cheat code if you want to stay consistent with your goals and see real results. Grab a notebook, look at the facts, and let's review!
👇 Drop your feedback in the comments below: What is one thing that worked for you this week, and what is one thing that didn't? Let's talk about it!
