Physical rigors, mental fortitude test SWAT recruits' true grit


Physical rigors, mental fortitude test SWAT recruits' true grit: "it was on to physical aptitude in a weight room at headquarters. They were to bench press 100 percent of their body weight, do 29 sit-ups in under a minute, and run 11/2 miles in less than 15 minutes under the heat of a midday sun.
Later in the day, they would hit a city pool, where they were to swim 200 yards and tread water for 10 minutes -- while wearing parts of their uniforms."

Good luck.
