Pre-Camp Swim Classification Tests

This is an opportunity for your unit to have your annual Scouting America swim classification test done under the supervision of GSLAC-approved aquatics personnel. A unit swim classification record will be issued by GSLAC Aquatics personnel to each unit showing the swim classification (swimmer, beginner, non-swimmer) of each participant. Although these swim tests are being conducted prior to summer camp, the camp aquatics director is expected to review or retest any scout or leader whose skills appear to be inconsistent with his classification.

When: Saturday May 30 / Wednesday June 3 / Friday June 5

Where: Beaumont Scout Reservation Pool

Time: The Sessions will be divided into 30 minute blocks with a maximum of 15 individuals per session

Who: $8 per participant and 15 participants can be scheduled for each 30 min session.
