Swimming Merit Badge

Swimming Merit BadgeProgram Description

You've learned your strokes, right?  Now join us and learn how to improve them!  Enjoy games and activities while you learn. This is not a learn-to-swim class. You must know all your strokes before you arrive. We will work with you to improve them and, hopefully, earn the merit badge by demonstrating the correct stroke and form.

This is a weekend class.  Mark your calendar to attend all day Saturday, and Sunday until noon.  (Sunday is optional.).

Class size:  Minimum 4, maximum 8.

Swimming attire and towel
Shirt, long pants, belt, socks and shoes that
