The Physical Education
Department is tasked with accomplishing one third of the
mission of the Naval Academy, to prepare midshipmen physically
to become professional Navy and Marine Corps officers. This
mission is accomplished through a thorough and rigorous course
of instruction in the fundamentals of swimming, personal
defense, lifetime fitness and recreational sports, and through
the regular administration of the Physical Readiness
Test. Midshipmen must meet physical education requirements
during their four years at the Naval Academy in order to
graduate. |
