About this exam
The Navy Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman Physical Screening Test (SWCC PST) is a physical fitness assessment for candidates pursuing the SWCC enlistment and training pathway. It helps assess whether a candidate meets the physical screening requirements; it is not an academic or written exam. The PST commonly includes a 500-yard swim using the combat side stroke, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and a 1.5-mile run. Candidates should confirm current eligibility rules, event procedures, and standards with an official Navy Special Warfare recruiter.
Preparing for the SWCC PST means building event-specific fitness while learning how the test is administered and scored. Review the event sequence and standards, practice efficient combat side-stroke technique, and work on swim breathing, stroke coordination, and controlled pacing across the 500 yards. Train for the calisthenics and run as well as the swim, since strength or endurance in one event does not replace performance in another. Timed practice can reveal pacing problems, but candidates should follow safe training progressions and use current official guidance.
How to prepare for the SWCC PST
- Learn the current PST event order, test procedures, and scoring standards from official Navy Special Warfare recruiting sources; requirements can change, so verify them with a recruiter.
- Practice the combat side stroke and swim breathing separately, then use timed 500-yard swims to develop steady pacing and consistent splits without sacrificing technique.
- Train push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and the 1.5-mile run regularly, and occasionally rehearse the events in test order to identify fatigue and pacing issues.
