6th: Aggressive swim

-After you jump into the high distance, you will swim aggressively to prevent yourself being hit
by other passengers from above or to prevent yourself self being suck by sinking boat.

Steps

Jump the boat (Compact jump)

You will sink as a result. You will the cover your head through putting your hand to your head
and extending your other hand overhead. This will prevent your head being hit by floating
metals (eg. Palabad sa barko)

You will do aggressive swim through kicking and scooping your hand away from the boat. (The
distance depends on how big is the boat, if 25 meters, then you swim 25 meters or further.)
