Q: CHIANG RAI, Thailand (Reuters) - Rescue teams in northern Thailand were giving crash courses in swimming and diving on Wednesday as part of complex preparations to extract a young soccer team trapped in a cave, and hoping for a swift end to their harrowing 11-day ordeal. 
  
 Divers, medics, counselors and Thai navy SEALS were with the 12 schoolboys and a 25-year-old assistant coach, providing medicines and food while experts assessed conditions for getting them out safely, a task the government said would not be easy.

 “The water is very strong and space is narrow. Extracting the children takes a lot of people,” Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan told reporters. 
  
 “Now we are teaching the children to swim and dive,” he said, adding that if water levels fell and the flow weakened, they would be taken out quickly. 
  
 The SEALS posted photographs on Facebook showing their members working in chest-deep water in the cave, adding that it was pumping water as “fast as possible” as it prepares to bring out the stranded group. 
  
 About 120 million liters of water had been pumped out by late on Tuesday, or about 1.6 million every hour. 
  
 It was unclear what the options were to get the “Wild Boar” team out of the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai province and how they would be steered through tight, fluid conditions and uncertain weather. 
  
 Experts say divers have required three hours to reach the boys, located about 4 km (2.5 miles) from the mouth of the cave. 
  
 A video released by the SEALS showed two rescuers seated on an elevated part of the cave beside boys wrapped in emergency foil blankets who appeared to be in good spirits, occasionally laughing. 
  
 A torch is shone on each boy, who says hello and introduces himself with head bowed and palms pressed together in a traditional “wai” greeting.

 NIGHTMARE OUTING 
  
 The group was discovered by the SEALS and two British cave diving experts on Monday, having been incommunicado since June 23, when a post-practice outing went awry, prompting the high-profile search and rescue effort. 
  
 The multinational operation has included divers from the Australian Federal Police, U.S. military personnel, British cave experts and teams from China, Japan, Laos and Myanmar. 
  
 The Thai army has sent in 31 divers to support the navy’s SEALS, a spokesman said. 
  
 News that the team had survived sparked relief, celebrations and an outpouring of praise in a country transfixed by the drama and its almost blanket media coverage. 
  
 Chiang Rai Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn said the authorities were keen to get the boys out and suggested that might have to happen in phases. 
  
 “All 13 don’t have to come out at the same time,” he told reporters. “Who is ready first can go first.” 
  
 Officials have dismissed as speculation reports that the boys could be trapped for up to four months, although supplies have been prepared for that period of time. 
  
 There was much work to be done in preparing the boys for what could be a demanding task, and rescue teams should not be pressured to act faster, said a deputy government spokesman, 
  
 Weerachon Sukondhapatipak, who was at the cave on Wednesday. 
  
 “Some of them can’t swim, so therefore it will take time for them to adjust,” he said. 
  
 “Officials would teach them how to move, how to dive, how to move their body under those circumstances.”

 Somboon Sompiangjai, 38, said his son Peerapat, 16, was able to swim, adding that he was confident the SEALS’ experience and professionalism would help get the boys home safely. 
  
 “I am not worried if the kids have to swim and dive,” he told Reuters. 
  
 “I felt much better after seeing the clips with the children in good spirits, even though they were in there for 10 days.” ||||| Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The boys can be seen introducing themselves next to a diver in a wetsuit 
  
 A new video has been released of the 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a Thai cave, in which they say they are in good health. 
  
 Smiling and at times laughing, they introduce themselves one by one. 
  
 They were found on Monday after nine days trapped deep in the cave by rising water, and have since received food and medical treatment. 
  
 But their rescue may take months as they must either be taught to dive or wait for the water to recede. 
  
 The concern is that the rainy season has only just begun, so water levels in the Tham Luang cave will almost certainly continue to rise. 
  
 The video posted on the Thai Navy special forces Facebook page shows the team draped in foil blankets to keep them warm.

 Lit by torches and with divers sitting alongside, they each give their name and the traditional "wai" greeting, putting their palms together. 
  
 Two other videos show the group having some light scratches treated by a military doctor. The boys are also again seen asking how soon food is coming. 
  
 Written on a rock in the cave can be seen the name of the football team and of the navy unit involved in the rescue. 
  
 Two Thai navy divers will be staying with the group underground from now on. 
  
 Could the group swim out? 
  
 "Now we are teaching the children to swim and dive," Thai Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency. 
  
 A report in The Guardian says the boys are being trained to breathe through scuba masks. 
  
 But a source inside the Thai navy diving team has told the BBC that taking the boys, few of whom can even swim, out through the narrow flooded passages is too risky. 
  
 He said the journey in to where they were, deep in the caves, had exhausted even experienced divers. So they were seriously considering keeping the boys there for the full four or five months of the rainy season, he added. 
  
 Some of the route involves squeezing through tight gaps underwater. In parts it is too narrow to wear an oxygen tank and the exits are not visible, so it would be easy for a child to panic. 
  
 However, other Thai officials say they may need to bring the boys out quickly if water levels rise. Weather forecasts for the area are being closely monitored for heavy rain which could trigger further flooding. 
  
 What are the trapped group having to endure? 
  
 Before they were found, they would have lived in total darkness once any torch batteries had expired. 
  
 However, the three basic conditions for survival were met: 
  
 The temperature in the cave is thought to be around 26C (79F) so hypothermia was not an issue 
  
 There was sufficient oxygen because air enters through porous limestone or cracks in the rocks. 
  
 They had drinkable water 
  
 Oxygen may yet become a problem should the water level rise and the air pocket they are in get smaller. 
  
 Unknown factors include the possibility of dangerous animals like snakes in the cave or of contamination from bat droppings. 
  
 What rescue efforts are being made? 
  
 Rescuers are trying to work out how best to bring them all to safety, with officials stressing they do not intend to take any risks with the boys' safety.

 At a news conference, officials said no rescue attempt would be made on Wednesday but conditions were perfect for a rehearsal. 
  
 Water continues to be pumped out of the cave complex and officials have said they are confident they have been able to stop more water getting into the chamber the boys are in. 
  
 Emergency teams are also trying to install a phone line so the group can talk to their families but attempts to do so failed on Tuesday. 
  
 Outside the cave, medics are staging rehearsals in case the group can be brought out soon. 
  
 Other teams are still scouring the mountainside in the hope of finding another way into - and out of - the cave. 
  
 How did the group get trapped? 
  
 The boys, aged between 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old coach went missing on 23 June. It is believed they entered the cave in northern Chiang Rai province when it was dry and that sudden heavy rains blocked the exit. 
  
 It is thought they could at first move through parts of the cave in dry conditions but rushing waters clogged the narrow passages with mud and debris, blocking visibility and access. 
  
 How were they found? 
  
 They were finally reached by two British rescue divers late on Monday, nine days after they entered the caves. 
  
 They were huddled on a rock shelf about 4km (2.5 miles) from the mouth of the cave.

 The boys, none of who can swim, are being trained in how to breathe through diving masks but none have made any attempt to get through the water hemming them in. 
  
 Authorities said they appeared mentally and physically healthy after receiving food and water supplies, but were yet to speak to their parents after the waterproof seal of a phone sent into the narrow, muddy cave system was breached, ruining the device. |||||
A:
If 12 boys and their coach are going to get out of a flooded cave in northern Thailand before monsoon rains make their situation worse, it is going to have to happen soon, authorities say. The government says the boys are receiving crash courses in swimming and diving from rescue teams, though the 2.5-mile route to safety through dark, treacherous tunnels takes even the best divers around three hours, reports Reuters. The governor of Chiang Rai province, Narongsak Osatanakorn, says the youth soccer team has been practicing with diving masks but he's not sure if they have attempted any dives yet, the Guardian reports. He says no attempt to extract the boys will be made Wednesday, though the weather will remain ideal for a rescue later in the week. Rainy season is only just beginning in the area, meaning the boys could be trapped for up to four months if authorities decide it is too dangerous to extract them, though the military describes four months as a worst-case scenario. In video released by Thai Navy SEALs, the boys, aged from 11 to 16, appear healthy, the BBC reports. The boys, who have been in the cave since June 23, have been provided with supplies and the military says two SEALs will remain with them at all times. To keep water levels as low as possible, teams of soldiers and other rescuers have been pumping water out and building weirs across creeks to divert water away from the cave system, the Bangkok Post reports. Teams are also trying to find cave shafts that could offer another escape route.
