OTHER TRAINING
Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat training (pdf) document should be used
as a reference for BSA aquatics by an "approved" trainer (contact Jennifer Kennedy
for a list of trainers). It is partially extracted from the "Guide to Safe Scouting"
which is also available online at the GSWC website. This information needs to
be covered when conducting unit-level training for these two courses (usually in a combined class).
For more training information, please look at the NNM Training Calendar
or contact Pippa Freyer, NNM Training Chairman.
