Some of the SMTs I’ve heard about from my Plebe:

3-6 mile runs
visit to Holocaust museum
PT including pushup and curlup “ladders” a la The USNA Candidate Book
briefings on professional topics
met with Distinguished Graduate Award winners for Q&A session
played “field ball”
endurance course and O-course runs
“Sea Trials practice”

Each semester, the “training staff” for each company changes, i.e., the Mids in charge of training the Plebes. The overall type of training can change substantially as a result.

During her CVW, the company she visited did pool PT. No, she was not required to participate, but she did. Many of the things done in pool PT do NOT require the ability to swim.
