Operations Specialist 1st Class Joshua Spence gives instruction for the third-class swimmer test to Officer Development School (ODS) class 21070 at the Lt. Michael P. Murphy Combat Training Pool in Newport, Rhode Island on July 27. The test consists of jumping from a 10-foot tower into the pool to simulate abandoning ship, five minutes of floating in the prone position, coverall inflation, and a 50-yard swim. ODS provides staff corps officers and several restricted line designators with training necessary to prepare them to function in their role as newly commissioned Naval officers.
