This week we are completing the swimming merit badge. We will meet at the OU pool on Asp. Because the pool closes at 8pm, we will need to meet at 6pm to give us enough time to finish the requirements. You will need to bring your swim suit and a towel. In order to complete the survival requirement (below) you will also need to bring long pants with a belt, shoes, socks, and a long sleeve shirt. If you do not bring these items you will not be able to complete the badge.
"Demonstrate survival skills by jumping feetfirst into deep water wearing clothes (shoes, socks, swim trunks, long pants, belt, and long-sleeved shirt). Remove shoes and socks, inflate the shirt, and show that you can float using the shirt for support. Remove and inflate the pants for support. Swim 50 feet using the inflated pants for support, then show how to reinflate the pants while still afloat."
As always contact me with any questions, See you all on wednesday!
