Webelos Camping; Swimming Classification

Troop 215 and Jack Murphy have invited local scouts to Bethel Park's Pool on May 31 from 6:30 - 8:15 at $1.00 per person to earn their Swim Classification for Heritage Reservation this summer. Scouts may still test in the lake upon arrival if they wish, or they can "pass" now in the pool (or just see how they would do).

The swimmer's test essentially involves jumping in, swimming 75 yards with a strong stroke, then 25 yards of a resting backstroke, followed by floating. The beginner's test involves jumping in, swimming 25 feet on the surface, turning, and returning to the starting place.

Cheryl L. is the contact person for this event. If you are interested and your name is not below, please rsvp to her by email or phone by Friday, May 29 (cleonard@uscsd.k12.pa.us or 412-220-3151). Plan on arriving at Bethel Park's Pool on Sunday, May 31 at 6:20 (meet by the deep end of the pool, please). Send your scout in with $1.00, which will be collected upon checkin. She will have the sign-in and evaluation sheet, which the aquatics director will sign after testing. This form will go to Heritage.
