Key takeaways
Which Coast Guard fitness test does this page cover?
This page covers the servicewide Physical Fitness Test introduced through the Coast Guard Physical Readiness Program. 12
It is not a claim that all entry, rescue-swimmer, diver or other community qualification tests have identical standards. The June 2026 update separately discusses Community Fitness Tests for communities with more rigorous functional requirements. 3
What events and minimums are publicly verified?
The March 2026 official bulletin identifies three events and requires at least 45 points in each. 2
Scroll sideways inside this table if needed. The page itself does not scroll sideways.
| Event | Publicly confirmed information | What still needs the official guide |
|---|---|---|
| Push-up | A required PFT event | Valid repetitions, age/sex performance rows and current procedure. |
| Plank | A required PFT event | The table matching held time to points. |
| Cardio | Run, row or swim | Authorized option, distance, conditions and current scoring row. |
The bulletin says raw results are converted using age- and sex-normed tables and recorded in Direct Access, with an overall score ranging from 1 to 7. A single failed event causes an overall failure. A different service’s 45-point table is not a Coast Guard source. 2
Can this page produce a reliable Coast Guard score?
Not for a performance-to-points conversion until the current official table and all applicable procedures have been verified.
The Coast Guard’s public messages direct members to the PFT guide and PRP SharePoint resources. This review verified the program and threshold, not a complete unrestricted copy of the current scoring tables. The safe next step is to ask your PRL to check your raw results against the current guide. 23
For a threshold-only example, an event officially scored at 44 is below the 45-point minimum, even if the other two events are strong. This example does not assign 44 to any invented push-up count or cardio time. 2
What should I bring to my Physical Readiness Leader?
Bring your test date, age, applicable scoring category, raw event results and any authorized limitation—not identity documents for this site.
Ask the PRL to confirm:
- The current guide version and the correct scoring rows.
- Which cardio option is authorized for your test.
- Whether an approved waiver, exemption or Community Fitness Test applies.
- Which results need to be entered in Direct Access.
The June update says PFT scores must be recorded in Direct Access beginning July 1, 2026 and describes medical and administrative authorization routes. This website cannot grant those authorizations. 3
