Hannah Aspden (left), an athlete of the Royals Swimming Team at the Queens University of Charlotte, and Capt. Kellie Mix, a Marine Corps Instructor of Water Survival, participate in a rope-climb and pull-up challenge after Marine Corps water survival training during United States Marine Corps’ 2018 Marine Week in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 6, 2018. Marines are inherently amphibious by nature and are expected to operate in aquatic environments. Marine Corps water survival training’s purpose is to reduce fear, raise self- confidence, and develop Marines with the ability to survive in water. Marine Week provides an unprecedented opportunity to increase public awareness of the Marine Corps’ value to our nation’s defense and preserve and mature the Corps’ relationship with the greater Charlotte community.
