| Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge | |
|
May 5, 2011 |
Hi all,
The Navy SEALS and USA Swimming have
teamed up to create a unique opportunity for swimmers to test their
performance in individual tests of strength and endurance. This
challenge consists of swimming, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and
running. This challenge closely mirrors the initial physical
screening test given to anyone who desires to become a U.S. Navy
SEAL and provides a fun, competitive dryland program for USA
Swimming clubs.
The Navy SEAL
Fitness Challenge is being conducted in the Spring and the
Fall by several USA Swimming clubs/LSC's around the country
and scores from the challenge will be calculated and posted on the
USA Swimming website so competitors can compare themselves with
other swimmers and participants nationwide. All Navy SEAL Fitness
Challenge competitors will receive a commemorative t-shirt and swim
cap for their participation in the competition.
Please see the attached flyer
which can be printed or posted on your club's website.
USA Swimming asked a few LSC's to participate in this initial round
and Minnesota Swimming was one of them. Minnetonka Swim Club is the
only club hosting the event this Spring. Registration for this
event can be done through the Minnetonka Swim Club website with the
registration deadline May 14, 2011. Athlete may participate
with their club or as an individual, but must be at least 13
years of age. The targeted age range is 13-25 year of
age. This event will be limited to 200 participants on a
first come, first served basis. Participants will be contacted
after the 14th to inform them of what time they need to arrive and
what time their wave starts. There are no participation fees
associated with this event.
National Team Member, David Plummer,
will be on site at the Minnetonka SEALS Challenge. He will be
speaking to each wave and available to meet with athletes, sign
autographs, etc.
