Cadets of the TSP “SHIELD” club took part in a special water training, which was conducted by teachers of the Department of Tactical-Special and Special Physical Training. The main goal of the lesson is to learn to control one’s own body and breathing in extreme conditions.

During the training, the cadets performed exercises with breath holding, worked on endurance and learned to navigate underwater. They also practiced changing the direction of movement, turning in the aquatic environment and coordinating movements in situations when the body experiences a lack of oxygen.

According to the Head of the lesson, Associate Professor of the department Ihor Vlasenko, such exercises help develop not only physical fitness, but also stress resistance and the ability to react quickly in difficult situations.
“A modern police officer must be ready to act in any conditions – both on land and on water. Such training helps to learn to control oneself even under serious stress,” he noted.

Such classes simulate situations that are as close as possible to real service conditions and develop the skills necessary for working in non-standard and dangerous circumstances.
