We are offering students the option to take their swim test at:
The Cape St. Claire Pool
Date: 6/15/25
Time: 9am-10am
Students need to have a life vest (Type III PFD, see pictures posted here) and be expected to swim in the deep end. Parents should stay for the duration of their child’s test.
Swim tests will still be available on Day One of camp but the pool test is preferred. Completing your swim test at the pool (instead of day 1 at the river front) will allow more time for sailing instruction and prevent the potential for a swim test with jellyfish in the later sessions.
Please sign-up for the swim test if you plan to attend to allow for the pool to have proper coverage.
Email capeyouthsailing@gmail.com with any questions.
