Have your cadet swim....swim a lot, try and log miles not just laps. Being comfortable in the water is the key. To be honest if he/she doesn't have the time to do both a scuba course and swim laps, stick with the swimming. If the cadet can swim some in open water, even a lake, that would be good as well, just make sure there is a spotter. Should also practice swimming under water for as long as they can hold their breath, and keep practicing to increase the distance, and practice without any goggles or mask. Also keep up on running for endurance.
