Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat training can be given by any person authorized by the council, including a BSA Aquatics resource person, a unit leader with aquatics skill, or any other person with aquatics knowledge or experience whom the local council has approved. 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 (No. 34243) with them, and agree to use the eight defenses in this plan:

  1. Qualified Supervision
  2. Physical Fitness
  3. Safe Area
  4. Lifeguards on Duty
  5. Lookout
  6. Ability Groups
  7. Buddy System
  8. Discipline
