    Justin Lawrence, an athlete of the Royals Swimming Team at the Queens University of Charlotte, participates in Marine Corps water survival training during United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 6, 2018. Marine Corps water survival training’s purpose is to reduce fear, raise self-confidence, and develop Marines with the ability to survive in water. The team participated in some basic Marine water drills, such as inflating the Marine utility uniform to make flotation devices and swimming 25 meters with rubber rifles. The Royals Swimming men and women’s teams have won first place in Division II National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships for the past four years. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command planned unique engagements to interact with important components of the Charlotte population, looking to share its message of opportunity with a diverse audience of people who in many cases had little previous exposure to the Corps’ culture.
