All Scouts and Adults that will be attending Lost Lake Summer Camp are required to be at a swim test next Saturday, June 20^th from 8:45 till 10:00 AM.  We will be meeting at Brookwood Country Club at 8:45 AM to do our swim test.  This will save us tremendous time when we arrive at camp on Sunday July 5^th.  Please arrive at the Brookwood pool by 8:45 AM dressed in your swimsuit and ready to swim as there may not be changing rooms available.  We will have a Red Cross WSI who will assess our swimming skills and rank each of us as a Non-swimmer, beginner, or swimmer.  For those of you new to the scout test I have listed the requirements below.  This will determine what section of the swim area you will be allowed to be in at camp.  This will be the initial assessment and there will be opportunities during the week to improve skills and be retested.  We must be completed and out of the Brookwood pool before 10:00 AM.  Brookwood is located on the south side on Tienken road, between Livernois and Brewster.  If there is a conflict that cannot be worked around, you must call Mr. Holloway @ 248-650-6108 or Mr. Verlinde @ 248-651-4031 and let us know.

 SWIMMER'S TEST:

Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming.

The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating.
