Corps 5 Swim Pre-Camp Swim Tests - By Appointment Only

Corps 5 of the Mahican District is pleased to offer Pre-Camp BSA Swim Tests for Scouts BSA and Crews that will be attending Scout Camps this Summer. All tests are done by “Advance Registration” through the Black Pug Registration System and will only be conducted on a Unit Basis. Testing dates will on Wednesdays, May 13, 20 and 27, between 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm. All sessions are at Annapolis High School. NO WALK INS, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE RESERVATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If your Unit requires a Swim Test for another Summer Activity, please contact Corps 5 at MahicanCorps5@gmail.com or DTamsen@aol.com.

All tests on the Test Date will be conducted on a “First Come-First Serve” basis and only those Units that registered for that particular day. Please note that it takes approximately 5 minutes per Scout to administer the test and we will be trying to test 4 Scouts every 5 minutes. WE WILL NOT CONTINUE TESTS UNTIL ALL WHO ARE PRESENT ARE TESTED; TESTING WILL END AT 8:30 pm each night. The registration system is designed to allow for the testing of 64 individuals over the span of 1½ hours. Please plan to arrive early on your schedule test day to ensure your Unit will be able to be tested; otherwise you may not be tested and will have to re-register. (There is no carry-over of those Units or individuals who cannot be tested during a session) Please also plan on waiting at the site until it is your Unit’s turn to be tested. Units can register for testing on more than one date to accommodate everyone in the Unit.

Units must bring 2 copies of the Swim Classification Form with names of the individuals to be tested already inserted. If the names are not legible, you will be asked to complete new forms. (See Forms Attached on Website)

Please review the Instructions File before you make your reservations, it explains the reservation process, the time to allow for tests and the pool procedures.
