In which SCBA maneuver do you not loosen the left shoulder strap?

The swim move is a specific SCBA maneuver designed to allow firefighters to maneuver in tight spaces while maintaining a secure fit of the equipment. In this maneuver, the left shoulder strap remains tightened to ensure that the SCBA does not shift or come loose during the process. Keeping the left shoulder strap secure is crucial for maintaining balance and support, especially in situations where a firefighter may need to move quickly or make sudden adjustments to their position.

In contrast, the other maneuvers such as the high profile, rollover move, and reduced profile often involve adjustments to the SCBA straps to optimize movement or adapt to the specific physical requirements of those techniques. Each of these maneuvers focuses on providing versatility and safety in different scenarios, which sometimes necessitates loosening or making adjustments to the shoulder straps.
