Answer 2

All SEAL candidates are required to meet the following qualification standards and pass the Physical Screening Test (PST):


18-28 years old (17 with parental permission)
A U.S. citizen.
High school graduate (or meet High Performance Predictor Profile (HP3) criteria). Be proficient in reading, speaking, writing, and understanding the English language.
Have clean record - Not be under civil restraint, a substance abuser nor have a pattern of minor convictions or any non-minor, misdemeanor, or felony convictions (waivers are granted depending on number and severity). The Special Assistant for Legal Affairs must not enlist applicants with lawsuits pending against them without prior approval.
ASVAB minimum requirements: SEAL - GS+MC+EI=165 or VE+MK+MC+CS=220 Since you cannot get a waiver on the required ASVAB score it is critical that you score high on the ASVAB. Check out our ASVAB Practice tests to learn how you can Ace the ASVAB.

Eyesight Requirements: Uncorrected vision in the better eye can be no worse than 20/70, the worse eye no more than 20/100. Both eyes must be correctable to 20/20. Color deficiencies require approval.

If you meet these qualifications a Navy Special Operations Motivator will administer the PST after you arrive at Boot Camp.

SEAL training is extremely demanding and it is not designed to "get you in shape." You must be in excellent physical condition and pass the PST before you can be considered a SEAL candidate. Stew Smith can teach you how to get and stay in SEAL shape. Visit the Fitness Center to learn more.


The following SEAL PST is designed to see if you have what it takes to enter SEAL training. To pass you must be able to complete the following regimen:


Swim 500-yards using breast and/or sidestroke in less than 12 minutes and 30 seconds
10-minute rest

Perform a minimum of 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest

Perform a minimum of 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest

Perform a minimum of 6 pull-ups (no time limit)
10-minute rest

Run 1 ½ miles wearing TENNIS SHOES and SHORTS in under 11 minutes.*

* While at Recruit Training Center SEAL Candidates will transition to Boots and Long Pants for the Run portion of the PST. To remain qualified for the SEAL training Pipeline, the SEAL candidate must perform the 1 ½ mile run portion of the PST in Boots and Long Pants in 11:30 or less.

Once you have finished Boot Camp — if you make the cut — you will attend a two-week Apprenticeship Training Division School, with immediate assignment to BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL) training.

Answer 3

I was a Reconnaissance Marine, and we did quite a few timed swim events at ARS and Combatant Dive. My memory is a bit fuzzy after 15 or so years, but I remember a particular swim at Combatant Dive of 10,000 meters with a time limit of 8 hours. This was with utilities, boots, fins, and towing a ruck sack.

Answer 4

false the horizon is but only 12-15 miles away.

I served with some SEAL's and I tell you what, I was in pretty good shape and couldnt even keep up on a weight set in a gym, and I was the biggest guy in the group of us.

All I have to say is thank god they were on my team.

Answer 5

How does one tell when they've reached "the horizion"? There is certainly a pleothra of endurance swim testing in BUD/S but that one is new to me.

(Not a SEAL)

Answer 6

The Horizon? Hell no. Thats over 20 miles. Nobody likes to walk that far, let lone swim it.

Answer 7

that is true,. but i dont know what the time limit is
