Hi all. (I'm returning to the forum after many years away.)
The short version is: as an experienced BSA summer camp lifeguard
I believe every camper should re-take the swim test at camp.
Long Version:
BSA swimmer test = jump in water over your head, swim 100 yds using selected strokes.
BSA beginner test = jump in water over your head, swim 50 yds. using any stoke.
As a youth, I spent a summer as a waterfront camp counselor (camp had a lake with docks).
We had probably 150-200 campers per week and it was my job to administer the beginner swim test 50-70 kids per we
