• Description: The Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge offers the chance for the general public to take the Navy SEAL Physical Screening Test (PST). The PST consists of five (5) events:
  
  500-yard swim (using sidestroke or breaststroke)
  Push-Ups (as many as possible in 2-minutes)
  Sit-Ups (as many as possible in 2-minutes)
  Pull-Ups (as many as possible, no time limit)
  1 ½ mile run
  The PST is a general indicator of whether you have the baseline fitness necessary to complete the demanding SEAL training program (BUD/S).
  
  The standards that must be achieved to enter BUD/S include the following:
  
  500-yard swim (using sidestroke or breaststroke) under 12 ½ minutes
  42 Push-Ups in 2 minutes
  50 Sit-Ups in 2 minutes
  6 Pull-Ups no time limit
  1.5 Mile Run under 11 minutes
  The elevated SEAL standards for the PST, which statistically gives the candidate a much greater chance of completing BUD/S, include the following:
  
  500-yard swim (using side+stroke or breaststroke) under 10 minutes
  80 Push-Ups (in 2 minutes)
  80 Sit-Ups (in 2 minutes)
  11 Pull-Ups (no time limit)
  1.5 Mile Run under 10 minutes
