Army Combat Fitness Test 1K Meter Swim

The Army Combat Fitness Test consisting of six events will be official for all Soldiers in October. Soldiers who are limited from performing the 2 mile run due to a documented medical condition may perform one of three alternate cardio events in lieu of the 2 mile run. One of the alternate cardio events is a 1,000 meter swim in 25 minutes. The swim would be performed 10 minutes after the 3 rep maximum deadlift and the sprint, drag, carry event. What do you recommend as a training and conditioning program for the 1K meter swim? More info on the swim event here https://youtu.be/C22lSycp21g

  • Civilian swim wear authorized. I wonder if full body tech suits count. As for preparing for 1k swim, if you’re already in shape but are unable to complete in under under 20 min (20-40 yr old), I think the best thing to do would be to become coached, take stroke development classes, and use video to review stroke.
