[quote=Anonymous]He could consider running Cross Country in the fall that will get him there.

He should also try to link up with a local road runners club that does weekly track work for some interval training, or do this on his own. (200, 400, 800, 1200 repeats, etc)

He should also look into doing some more basic training with the goal of being able to do well("competitive") on the Navy PST test:

https://navyseals.com/nsw/physical-screening-tests/

Competitive scoring:
SWIM 500 YDS.Side stroke/breast stroke 	10:30 min
REST 10 MIN. 	
PUSH-UPS (within 2 min) 	79
Rest 2 minutes 	
SIT-UPS (within 2 min) 	79
Rest 2 minutes 	
PULL-UPS (no time limit) 	11
Rest 10 minutes 	1.5 MILE RUN 	10:20 min

The swim should be easy for him but the rest may need some work and he'll only get good at the run by running more.

If he's a decent swimmer with good over cardiovascular, his running issue is mental.  If he can't summon the mental fortitude to become a proficient runner given that he swims at a higher level already, he probably isn't a good fit at the USNA so this is challenge is a good reality check for him.[/quote]
