Swim Test Night

Jamboree Troop D211 members are invited to join Troop 876 for swim tests at 7 PM Friday, April 19 at the CFBISD Natatorium on the south end of Standridge Stadium.  If you are able to attend, you may complete your swim test for Jamboree.  The cost is $1 for scouts and $2 for adults to pay for the use of the natatorium.


Swimmers pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth. Level off and 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 completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.

Beginners pass this test: Jump feetfirst into water over the head in depth, level off, and swim 25 feet on the surface. Stop, turn sharply, resume swimming and return to the starting place.

Anyone who has not completed either the beginner or swimmer tests is classified as a nonswimmer.
