The BSA Swim Test for SCOUTS will be on Tuesday, June 21st, at Centennial Pool from 5-7PM. If the pool is closed due to bad weather, then the Test will be on Tuesday, June 28th. Centennial Pool is located at 15600 West Avenue in Orland Park. If you cannot make the test, you will have to test at Ransburg. Adults will be tested at Ransburg.
When you come to the pool you should wear a Class B shirt, and let the staff know that you are with Troop 318 for the Swim Test. You will not have to pay. You will then proceed to the swim lanes on the east end of the pool. If you plan on staying at the pool after the Swim Test, you must pay the entrance fee. Otherwise once you have completed your test, you must leave. A Scout is Trustworthy. Bring your towel, and swim trunks. This year, we do not have to complete a waiver.
The test requirements are listed below. Make sure you start swimming to build up your endurance. The test is not difficult if you prepare yourself and practice.
