Swim Night - 2011

A Troop Swim Night is planned for Friday, March 18, 6:45pm-8:45pm, at the Westwood High School Pool, Nahatan St, Westwood.   There will be no charge for this activity! 

We will again have the entire pool reserved for our exclusive use. 

bulletAll scouts will be (recertified with passing the official BSA Swim Test.  (See pages 154-159 in your Boy Scout Handbook.)  This will be required in order to participate in canoe usage at the May Canoe Trip to Devil's Foot Island. 
bulletIt also will provide an opportunity for scouts to receive instruction for learning the basic swimming strokes needed to pass their Second or First Class swimming requirement.
bulletWe will also review all of the various water rescues needed for Second and First Class.
bulletThere will be an open swim.

>> Bring your own towel and swimsuit. 

Be at the Pool lobby before 6:45pm.  Please do not enter or exit the building by any other entrance.  This is so we keep track of attendance.

We have access to the pool/locker room from 7:00 to 9:00, but arriving early gives us the time to get changed and be ready by 7:00pm.  Activities will stop at, or before 8:45pm, so that everyone will have time to can change and dry off in time for us to be gone by 9:00pm.  We will re-assemble in the lobby before being dismissed.  No one will be allowed to leave the building without checking out with Mr Derian.

Please be aware that you must arrange for your own transportation.  There will be no troop-organized carpooling from the UCC.
