Is it compulsory to know swimming for a flight attendent job?

Hi Payal, Not all airlines require this as compulsion, however this at times can be a stated criteria in mostly international airlines & as they fly over international waters hence it could be required to know swimming in case of emergency. If it is not set as a per-requisuite then it could be part of the training schedule where you will need to demonstrate that you can float and move around in the water (using a life jacket), as well as how to operate/board an inflatable raft. Pool events are done fully clothed (like you would be in an actual emergency). Even with that requirement, swimming isn't exactly a necessary skill (although it can be useful). The in the water training is more to get you familiar with procedures and make you more comfortable dealing with such a situation. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!
