Aquatics Safety Training: This is an 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).
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.
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.
