Seal physical fitness requirements are tough! Check this link out:

On paper it sounds easy but try out a couple yourself first to gauge your stamina and then train for it.

Navy Seals must first become sailor before they become Seals. They go through the same boot camp that all the other sailors go to; however, the Seals have a program that picks up at the beginning of boot camp to give them the extra push that regular boot camp does not provide. More swimming, exercise and stuff like that. Once they graduate boot camp they go on to follow on training… such as Basic Underwater Demolitions School (BUDS).

The initial PST requirements are weak. Like someone else stated, you will be put into a SpecWar division of boot camp which will include more PT/dive motivator sessions. After this you will attend BUD/S Prep which could last 4-12 weeks depending on your fitness level.

The link below is has the minimum standards as well as the competitive/recommended standards. It has been advised that you should be able to achieve the competitive standards easily, before you even show up to boot camp.
