His friend doesn't have the swimming MB and are planning on doing canoe/rowing together. Not required. Just helpful. Son #2 never earned swimming, but is a solid swimmer. If his friend is of a similar mindset (certified elsewhere, or swims a lot, just not interested in a patch) he'll be a good buddy to have in the class. Sometimes kids marginally past swim tests (although the requirement is to "swim in a strong manner"). Such boys will find swamping drills a tiring venture. But, these are things that boys learn by trying. A good SM, Troop Guide, or SPL will be able to encourage boys who hit that wall. Edited July 14, 2016 by qwazse Link to post Share on other sites
