Aquatics

Supervision

Our pack encourages that every adult that wishes to participate in aquatic activities complete both the Safe Swim Defense training, Hazardous Weather and the Safety Afloat training. This training is good for two years.

Note: A My.Scouting.Org account will be required to complete training. Once the account is created, look for links to the My training and use the search bar for appropriate courses.

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.
