Swim Tests TOMORROW



Troop 1910 annual swim tests will be conducted TOMORROW at Southlake Carrol ISD Aquatic Center (indoor pool) located at 1501 W Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092 from 1-3pm.

Cost: $2.50 per Scout
$3.50 per Adult for open swim

Our Troop 1910 lifeguards (Greg Buell, Jason Preissinger, and Matt Wilkins) will be conducting the swim tests.

Please be aware that the sidestroke is the easiest technique for passing this test because your face is always out of the water -- meaning, you can always breathe.

The BSA swim test:

  • Jump in water over your head 
  • Swim any strong forward stroke 75 yards
  • Then swim 25 yards with the resting backstroke
  • Then rest by floating face up.
