Army Combat Fitness Test 1K Meter Swim

Maintaineer
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

  • Since 1989 I have taken 31 annual fit tests for the af and afr. As someone who doesn’t run, is horrible at it, and who’s hips are starting to bug me, it would certainly be nice for me to swim instead. I'm with you Steve. 26 years, 3 months, 14 days for me. My running always sucked. Now I only run when chased. Love my DD214. One assignment, very purple, back when we were doing that stupid bike test, I got tired of the other services giving me crap for our PT test. So I assigned myself to do all their PT tests. Ended up I had the fastest swim by 3-something minutes for the Navy's 500 yard swim. The senior chief tried to get my name on their unit board for fastest swim of the year but the CO refused since I was Air Force. ;)
