Swim Tests


Troop 1910's annual swim tests will be conducted May 7 and May 14 at NWISD Aquatic Center 

Cost: $8 per participant
Who should attend?  Any Scout or Scouter who needs an annual swim test.
When: May 4 and 14 from 12p-2p each day
Where: Northwest ISD Natatorium, 1976 Texan Dr., Justin, TX 76247 


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.
