SWAT PHYSICAL AGILITY

[Shauna Mccann]

HELLO EVERYONE,

 

I AM CURRENTLY APPLYING FOR A SWAT TEAM IN OHIO. I HAVE COMPLETED THE INITIAL PHYSICAL AND INTERVIEW PROCESS.  I AM LOOKING TO FIND ANY INFORMATION ON SWAT PHYSICAL AGILITY STANDARDS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.  THE INITIAL PHYSICAL HAD MODIFICATION FOR WOMEN ON SOME OF THE TESTS ( IE: PULL UPS, PUSH UPS, BENCH PRESS, AND LEG PRESS.) IT WAS IMPLIED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE MODIFICATIONS FOR THE YEARLY QUALIFICATION AND THAT THE REQUIREMENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE TO SUIT BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.  SO HERE I AM LOOKING TO FIND COMPARISONS.   ANY INFORMATION OR LINKS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

THANK YOU,

 

SHAUNA MCCANN
