The Physical Training at USNA

Why show up at the Naval Academy unprepared for the physical fitness test? You would be surprised but many freshman are physically unprepared for life at the Naval Academy when they arrive. Why make life here at the Naval Academy more stressful on yourself? You have to take a running test - so run! You have to take a swimming test - so swim! And you have to do pushups and situps - so practice those calisthenics.

This training program is designed to help prepare you to achieve above average scores (not the minimum standard) when you arrive as freshmen (Plebes). For most of you, it will be a great workout. For some, you will realize that you need to work a little harder prior to arriving next year.
