Safe Swim Defense

NEW On-line training :
Boy Scouts of America

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.

Listed below are some links to help adult leaders understand the very important requirements for this training.

Similar to Trek Safely, Safety Afloat, and Climb On Safely, it is not designed to teach the skills of swimming. Units that choose to engage in activities requiring specialized outdoor skills should seek qualified instructors to help members learn and acquire these skills prior to the outing.

Prerequisites: None
