During the swimming training every three days, Dong Weimin organized an armed swim across the river for 5,000 meters.
Dong Weimin said to all the team members: "This is the first time for everyone to swim across a river armed. In addition to carrying 30 kilograms of police equipment, you can also carry emergency lifebuoys."
"You can't swim well without choking on the water."
"I will now show you the essentials of swimming movements."
"The swimming strokes used in armed swimming are generally breaststroke and sidestroke. Our training today is sidestroke."
"Swimmers need to swim sideways, press their arms slightly downward when paddling, push their legs slightly back and down, and draw in their lower abdomen slightly. One arm stretches forward, the other arm relaxes back, and both legs kick."
"To maintain body balance and prevent sinking, the strength of kicking and arm strokes must be appropriately increased, and breathing must be sufficient. Armed swimming must be strictly assembled, simple and convenient, and equipment must not be loose or lost, and must meet relevant requirements."
"This is the first time you can wear a life preserver, and the second time you can wear a life preserver."
"The third time is close to actual combat. We rely entirely on our own strength to swim without the help of any external force."
The training location is actually a lake. The vast lake surface is a vast expanse of blue and sparkling.
Arrive at the island in the middle of the lake and swim back.
Dong Weimin got on a small motorboat. It was not that he was special, but that he could observe the movements on the lake and give command while on the motorboat.
Once any abnormal situation is discovered, the motorboat will turn into a rescue boat in an instant.
Help can be provided immediately.
After that, he got on the motorboat. The members of the special training team, dressed in camouflage uniforms and carrying 30 kilograms of police bags on their backs, all jumped into the water.
The members of the special training team all grew up in the southern water towns and grew up playing in the water.
Swimming is not a problem, it can even be said to be as comfortable as a fish in water.
Children in water towns spend their days hanging out with lakes and rivers. Water is their hometown, and there are endless stories in the water.
"The wind is blowing, the rain is falling, the fish's tail is bursting into round waves, thousands of pearls are falling on the lotus root, and the water chestnuts on the tip of the water chestnut are flying." The ducks, fish, ducks, lotus and water chestnuts in the pond are all children's playmates.
Zhou Yunzhen is no exception. He has been nicknamed "Baitiao in the Waves" by the Water Margin since he was a child, because he can sneak under the water like a fish.
Then he suddenly jumped out of the water, played all kinds of amazing new tricks, and could even stand upright in the water.
Although everyone was swimming with 30 kilograms of police bags on their backs, everyone rushed to swim to the island in the middle of the lake in accordance with the instructor Dong Weimin's request.
When the members of the special training team came ashore all wet, instructor Dong Weimin was already standing on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake.
"Yes, this time everyone successfully arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. No one was left behind. The rescue boat prepared was not used."
"I hope the rescue boat I prepared will never be used."
"Of course, this is to be prepared. There will be a survival boat with you next time, and you will never leave. But there won't be one the third time. You have to overcome everything by yourself."
"Otherwise, you will never grow up in the cradle. You will not be able to become useful to the country, nor will you be able to stand alone. You will not be able to shoulder the responsibilities you should bear."
At this point, Dong Weimin announced that he would rest for 30 minutes to regain his strength before swimming back to the shore where he started.
The team members were chatting and laughing, and the difficulty of today's swimming training was the easiest and most comfortable for them who grew up in Jiangnan.
But Zhou Yunzhen didn't think so. He knew that swimming from the shore to the island in the middle of the lake relied on one's spirit.
Moreover, swimming is something I am good at. Now that I am excited and excited, I certainly won’t feel tired.
It will be different when we go back. The excitement has passed, and our physical strength is definitely not as good as when we came back. When we came back, it was like going down the mountain with ease. Now going back is like climbing over a hill, rolling rocks up the mountain, and the difficulty is doubled.
Zhou Yunzhen said: "Everyone must pay attention to the method when swimming back. Save energy when treading water. When pushing the water with your legs, slightly backward and downward, with your lower abdomen slightly tucked in, you must not push hard suddenly."
"This is like a long-distance race on land. If you try to be quick, you will use up your energy. Haste makes waste."
"If you want to swim fast and not get tired, it is very important to allocate your physical strength reasonably. You must adjust your breathing and swimming posture. Don't go all out at the beginning. You must maintain your swimming rhythm so that you can reach the other shore smoothly."
When Zhao Bensong heard what Zhou Yunzhen said, how could he let go of the opportunity to attack and slander Zhou Yunzhen?
He spoke rudely: "When I saw everyone rushing to jump into the water and swim forward, I didn't see you say a word. It can be said that you didn't say a word, and for fear that you would be left behind, you couldn't wait to jump in and swim."
"It's just that your swimming skills are really not that good. Halfway through the swim, you were gradually caught up by us, from the middle to the lower reaches. There are not many people who are lagging behind, and you, Zhou Yunzhen, are one of them."
"Now we all have to swim back to the starting point. You are afraid of being embarrassed, because if you perform at a normal level, you will probably have to renew your mink tail."
"So you, with bad intentions, ask everyone to be as backward as you, so that you can cover up your ugliness, right?"
These words are heartbreaking and extremely insulting.
"Really? Then when you swim back to the shore this time, you can work harder and jump ahead bravely to win the title of Toad Palace. I will watch you succeed from behind." Zhou Yunzhen curled his lips.
As long as he speaks, Zhao Bensong will jump out to challenge him, which is not strange for Zhou Yunzhen.
He was too lazy to talk to him.
"That's all I said. Whether what I said is correct or not, you can think about it secretly."
Zhao Bensong's words were specious, but they still served to confuse right and wrong and muddy the waters.
Many people said that when Zhou Yunzhen swam to the island in the middle of the lake, he was indeed far behind everyone, and he was one of the few backward elements.
Didn't Zhou Yunzhen mean to be equal to everyone and keep pace with everyone? Because a person who falls at the back is not afraid of being laughed at and despised?
Zhao Bensong's words also make sense.
When the 30-minute rest time came, the members of the special training team jumped into the water one after another.
Instructor Dong Weimin still boarded a small motorboat. The small motorboat gently skimmed the water, stirring up waves of waves.
Arriving at the center of the lake, the small motorboat turned off and floated on the water.
Instructor Dong Weimin stood at the rear of the small motorboat, observing the swimming performance of the members of the special training team carrying a weight of 30 kilograms.
Instructor Dong Weimin saw one person in the formation of flying geese in the water who deserved to be the leader. He got rid of everyone and swam far ahead alone.
"Who could this person be?" he thought to himself.
Is it Zhou Yunzhen?
Zhou Yunzhen's swimming performance today was indeed average, but the energy consumed in the water was actually greater than on land.
The resistance of water is much greater than the force of wind on land.
In the water, because the human body is completely integrated with the water, people need to overcome the resistance in the water when swimming, which consumes more energy than on land.
According to relevant studies, the resistance experienced by the human body in water is 12 times that on land.
The thermal conductivity coefficient of water is 26 times greater than that of air, and heat loss in water of the same temperature is 20 times faster than in air.
This consumes human potential in an astonishing way.
Swimming 100 meters in water is equivalent to running 400 meters on land, riding a bicycle for 1,000 meters, or skating for 1,500 meters.
Zhou Yunzhen is actually controlling the heat and preserving his strength.
That's right. Who else will win the championship in the end?
