SAFE SWIM DEFENSE

Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat training can be given by any person authorized by the council, including a BSA Aquatics resource person, a unit leader with aquatics skill, or any other person with aquatics knowledge or experience whom the local council has approved.

Before a BSA group may engage in swimming activities of any kind, a minimum of one adult leader must complete Safe Swim Defense training, have a commitment card (No. 34243) with them, and agree to use the eight defenses in this plan:

Qualified Supervision

Physical Fitness

Safe Area

Lifeguards on Duty

Lookout

Ability Groups

Buddy System

Discipline
