TBD: Swim Test

Swimmer Classification levels of The BSA Swim Test

For the BSA Swim test, you can choose to take either the Swimmers test or the Beginners test. After attempting your selected test, there are three levels of classification you can receive. The three categories you can be grouped in are Swimmer, Beginner, or Learner (also called a non-swimmer).

You will become a Swimmer by passing the swimmer’s test, and a Beginner by passing the beginner’s test. If you are unable to pass your selected test, you will be considered a Learner and will be unable to enter most parts of the pool until you retake and pass a swim test.

Now let’s cover the requirements you’ll need to complete in order to pass both the Swimmer and Beginner swim tests.

Requirements of The BSA Swim Test

As mentioned earlier, a scout can select which test they’d like to attempt. Typically, after completing their chosen test, the Beginners will only be allowed in the shallow areas of the pool, while Swimmers will be able to swim where they please. Below are the requirements for each test.
