All campers (adults/scouts) are given a swim test as part of camp check in to check their swimming ability. There are three swimming levels on the waterfront. At the end of each test the swimmer is given a tag that indicates their level. The tag has their name, campsite, scout unit number, and the week they are attending camp. 

• The non-swimmer ability group is the lowest level. The test is conducted by having a guard supervise the camper walking in the area indicated non- swimmer to wet their ankles and legs. 

• The beginners test starts by have a supervised swimmer jump into water that is over their head, level off and then swim 25 ft., turn around in the water and swim back to their starting position.   THIS IS A TOTAL OF 1 LAP AT A YMCA POOL (UP AND BACK) WITHOUT PUTTING THEIR FEET DOWN

Of that 100 yds, 75 yds. will be swam using a strong front stroke such as, the front crawl, breaststroke, side stroke, and the trudgen. Strokes such as the doggy paddle and butterfly are not accepted. The tester will then swim the remaining 25 yds on their back using the elementary backstroke, which is the only stroke acceptable for this part of the test. The tester will then float on their back for 30 seconds.   THIS IS A TOTAL OF 2 LAPS AT A YMCA POOL (UP AND BACK x2) WITHOUT PUTTING THEIR FEET DOWN
