You must also somersault into the water without a life jacket, tread water for two minutes and then swim 20 metres. Regular physical training sessions will prepare you for field exercises, kilometre marches in full combat gear, and meeting the CAF minimum physical fitness standard. During the first week of basic training, you will take the FORCE Evaluation fitness test to assess your level of physical fitness.
