Aquatics Safety
This is the entertaining but effective online introduction to two major BSA
safety training units: Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. In the first unit,
we'll cover the eight crucial defenses for safe waterfront activity in Scouting
(supervision, fitness, safe area, lifeguards, lookouts, ability grouping, buddy
system, and discipline). Before a BSA group may engage in swimming activities
of any kind, a minimum of one adult leader must complete Safe Swim Defense
training, have a commitment card with them, and agree to use the eight defenses
in this plan.
In the second section, we review the boating safety unit, Safety Afloat, and
cover the nine defenses for safe boating activity. Please note that review of
either or both of these units online is considered helpful but does not meet all
the BSA qualifications for conducting water-related programs. For more, and
before conducting any waterfront or boating activities, contact your local
council.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This course has not yet been converted to the new
format (which automatically updates your training record if you provided a
member number as part of your user profile). To obtain credit for completing
this training, provide a copy of the certificate you can print at the end of
each section to your local council.
