An annual swim test is required for all scouts AND adults who want to swim at summer camp, the water sports campout in May, or any other swimming activity. Meet at Balcones Pool at 6pm on Wednesday. The pool is heated! All scouts and adults should attend. The test is described below: Jump feet first into water over your head in depth. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. See the Guide to Safe Scouting for more details. |
