Take Your Summer Camp Swim Test in Advance…
All Scouts spending time at Summer Camp at Wah-Tut-Ca are required to take the BSA Swim Test. This test allows the Camp Staff to gauge the Scouts’ swimming skills and take care of them appropriately during any activities at the waterfront. Normally, this test is administered Sunday afternoon.
Our Council is offering two opportunities for Scouts to take the BSA Swim Test in advance of this Summer, freeing up time at camp and hopefully making things run more smoothly. Scouts are not required to test in advance — the Swim Test will still be offered at camp — but advance testing is being offered for Scouts’ convenience.
The two advance testing opportunities are:
- Tuesday 25 April, 7:00 to 9:00PM
Lowell High School, 50 Father Morrissette Boulevard, Lowell, MA
Park on the street or in the garage across the street from the Lowell High Field House (small fee required). - Saturday 6 May, 12:00 to 2:00PM
Danvers YMCA, 35 Pickering Street, Danvers, MA
Plenty of parking in the YMCA lot.
Scouts can arrive in their swimsuits or change in the locker room on-site. Please note that this is not a “free swim” opportunity — it is a 3- to 5-minute test administered by the Council’s Aquatics and Camp teams.
If your Scout will be attending either event, please RSVP directly to the Wah-Tut-Ca Camp Director, Zack Sheherd, at either +1 978 967 6463 or zshepherd@scoutspirit.org, so he can be sure to have enough staff on-hand to make the testing run smoothly.
