    A military or aviation water survival training exercise is taking place in an outdoor pool facility. A helicopter fuselage simulator (dunker/HEEDS trainer) suspended by a crane hook is partially submerged in the pool, while a group of approximately 15-20 trainees in helmets and flight suits are gathered in the water nearby. The facility appears to be a dedicated water survival training center with multiple pool lanes and support buildings.
