The Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide 27
" Swim for 3 hours underwater (temperature: 70°F), wearing a wetsuit, mask
and fins, and using a Dräeger UBA and attack board." Drag a fully-loaded F470 Zodiac 50 meters onto a rocky beach with five other
SEALs, then, with three of the boat crew, quickly move all equipment and
supplies across 200 meters of rocky beach and stage/cache gear in prepara-
tion for the overland phase of the mission." Perform a rescue drag of a wounded comrade weighing 170 lbs, dragging him
by the web gear a distance of 75 meters, with the assistance of one other
SEAL.Given the above list of missions tasks, the question “what are the physical fitness
requirements necessary to complete each task?” was asked. A summary of the physical
tasks data is presented in Table 2-2 and Table 2-3. Table 2-3 presents the numerous
physical tasks associated with the missions and the physical characteristics demanded of
the SEAL. Table 2-3 extends these characteristics by delineating specific training plans to
improve performance on the physical tasks.
