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.
Sidestroke technique can be seen HERE

Troop Swim Test TONIGHT



Reminder that tonight's Troop meeting will be our annual swim test.

Join us at 7pm at the Longhorn Activity Center, 5350 Basswood Blvd, Fort Worth.

Cost: $3/person, payable at the Activity Center.

Annual swim tests are required by BSA for Scouts and adults who are participating in any type of water activity with the troop (swimming, motorboating, canoeing, kayaking, etc.). Also, anyone who is going to summer camp, Chisholm Trail, or the Whitewater High Adventure should take the swim test.

Lifeguards will also be signing off on Second Class requirements 5a-5d, and First Class requirements 6a and 6e. Scouts who have not yet reached First Class rank should bring their handbooks and be prepared to get their sign-offs for those requirements.

See you there!  Bring a towel.
