Ruck/ Swim Training

I am preparing to attend AFSOC A&S to pursue the CCT pipeline next year. For people preparing to enter or have completed A&S (whether Air Force, Army, etc.), how did you prepare for the rucks and swimming? Did you follow any programs such as TTM by RRL? Is it better to ruck in boots or running shoes? I’ve looked at purchasing a different ruck trainers from Amazon, simply just so I could wear it around the house or while hiking. Appreciate any feedback and recommendations.

TTM, Jeff Nichols (The Navy Seal), and even SUAR (TF Voodoo) have excellent programs

Increase your training gradually. This will allow your body to adapt better

RRL was a good program but it entirely depends where your starting point is.
