It’s a cool room they have like water sprinkle down from the ceiling and have storm noises to put you in a proper scenario. Once you climb in the life raft you’ll have to put cover up as a team together. (They shut the lifts off as well sometimes)
Thanks aviationgal for that insight, its a relieve hearing that.
I was worried they would be testing you swimming fully clothed and treading water for few minutes.
Time to hit the local pool and swim like there is no tomorrow!
