  1. This was not a MaY 12 Swim? I am not sure what that is. I am sorry you had issues as a counselor. I see from reading these posts here on the forum how hard of a job you have. Helping the boys and I guess dealing with parents. The funny part is that is the first time I have ever asked a couonselor a question. It will also be the last. Like I said my son accepted his failure. I am okay with what happened. The forum was nice to have to get set straight. every needs that every once in a while.
  2. He and I were iritated with the counselor but that is all over and he's dissappointed but okay. My problem was with the SM saying he shouldn't try again or not encouraging him to work at it. Is that the message we want to send the kids if you fail something you don't need to try again. I was proud of him that he stayed to cheer on a friend in the class after he was visible upset. I'm proud that he even wanted to try to do it again same day with the counselor. I am proud of him and I am very dissappointed with the idea of not letting him try again if he humbled himself to his failure weth
  3. my son attempted to take the life saving merit badge. Did the 400 yards. waited with the rest of the boys to start next portion when the instructor told him in front of all the boys he failed. Told him he could retry after he rested. He sucked it up, waited. Then the instructor told him he couldn't retry. He was devestated. Mind you there were no lanes by that instructor in the pool and boys sent in the water to do laps. He was close to the wall, ran into it so he "pushed" off and continued the yardage. The other boys did the same thing. When I asked if he could use the only lane to try again
