On stomach, simultaneous kick and arm motion. Frog kick to glide with arms down pulling down the body in a sweeping motion to slightly in front of body. During the load-up, arms extend fully to the front and legs spreading for next push to glide. Utilize proper bobbing of the head under the water and rotational breathing.

Tips: This requirement does not specify the type of stroke nor a minimum distance. Take your time and utilize different strokes. If one gets more tiring, switch to one more relaxing for you. Set a good slow-steady pace for continuous swimming. Common strokes to use (most to least): freestyle/front crawl, breaststroke, side stroke, elementary backstroke.

1

Swim a coordinated and effective stroke continuously for the following strokes and distances:


1a

Elementary backstroke for 50 yards (45.7 meters)

On the back, frog kick with “T” to statue arm movement.


1b

Breastroke for 100 yards (91.4 meters)

On stomach, simultaneous kick and arm motion. Frog kick to glide with arms down pulling down the body in a sweeping motion to slightly in front of body. During the load-up, arms extend fully to the front and legs spreading for next push to glide. Utilize proper bobbing of the head under the water and rotational breathing.


1c

Inverted breaststroke for 50 yards (45.7 meters)

As best as I (a recreational swimmer) can tell, this is an elementary backstroke with a whip kick (tuck/knees-pointed-up frog kick) rather than a knees-wide frog kick.


1d

Sidestroke for 100 yards 91.4 meters)

Scissor kick with extension movements on the swimmer’s side. The face stays out of the water.


1e

Overarm sidestroke for 100 yards (91.4 meters)

Scissor kick with half-freestyle movements. Rotate from side stroke as if to transition to freestyle but conclude the stroke back on the side for the glide. Utilize rotational breathing.


1f

Tudgen stroke for 50 yards (45.7 meters)

Scissor kick with freestyle arm movements. Arm pull should synchronize with the scissor kick.


1g

Back crawl for 100 yards (91.4 meters)

Flutter kick with arms rotating up and out of the water to reset and push the water past the body with the hands.


1h

Crawl for 100 yards (91.4 meters)

The is the front crawl, better known competitively as the freestyle stroke. Utilize proper rotational breathing.



2

Do the following dives in good form:


2a

Standing front dive

From dock or side of pool into water at a minimum of 9 feet (3 meters) deep. Must be done in good and proper form.


2b

Running front dive

From dock or side of pool into water at a minimum of 9 feet (3 meters) deep. Push out and away from the edge. Must be done in good and proper form.


2c

Pike surface dive

Must be done in good and proper form.

From treading water, preform a kick with the legs and arms from a “T” to a streamline by your side to push partially out of the water for a breath. After an adequate breath: bend at the hips, keeping the legs strait, reach down with your hands and head towards the bottom of the pool. Keep the feet together with toes pointed completely through the decent. After the initial glide downward, use the arms to displace the water and dive deeper. Keeping the legs strait and the body in a vertical position will help push you down into the water.


2d

Tuck surface dive

Must be done in good and proper form.

From treading water, preform a kick with the legs and arms from a “T” to a streamline by your side to push partially out of the water for a breath. After an adequate breath: reach down with your hands and head towards the bottom of the pool. As you begin to rotate bend at the hips and allow your knees to come towards your chest in a tuck position for easier rotation. Once facing down, straighten the body into an inverted vertical position. After the initial glide downward, use the arms to displace the water and dive deeper. Keeping the legs strait and the body in a vertical position will help push you down into the water.



3

Do a survival float for ten minutes while fully clothed .


This can be done either on stomach or back with minimal water treading. (On back is easier.)


4

Do a survival stroke for ten minutes while fully clothed.


Survival stroke does not require long distances, but staying afloat and moving in a direction. Utilize one of the strokes learned to continuously swim for 10 minutes while fully clothed.


5

Do a surface dive and swim underwater for ten yards.


The swimmer should not utilize the sides or bottom of the pool.


6

Swim continuously for 30 minutes using one or more styles of swimming. Hanging onto the sides (resting) or touching the bottom with the feet is not permitted.


Tips: This requirement does not specify the type of stroke nor a minimum distance. Take your time and utilize different strokes. If one gets more tiring, switch to one more relaxing for you. Set a good slow-steady pace for continuous swimming. Common strokes to use (most to least): freestyle/front crawl, breaststroke, side stroke, elementary backstroke.


7

Know the causes and prevention of accidents that can occur in or near the water.


Failure to pay attention and horseplay are the main causes of accidents around water. Consuming alcohol and drugs (which no Pathfinder would do), or swimming while on relaxant medication (pain relief, etc) causes most of the rest of the accidents. See the Basic Water Safety Honor for more details.

  1. Learn to swim before you go into the water. Sounds silly, but many people think it will come naturally, and it really doesn’t.
  2. Swim near a lifeguard so help is available if you need it.
  3. Never swim alone.
  4. Supervise children closely, even when lifeguards are present
  5. Don't rely on flotation devices, such as rafts, you may lose them in the water.
  6. Alcohol and swimming don't mix.
  7. Protect your head, neck, and spine by never jumping or diving into unfamiliar waters.
  8. As soon as you believe that you may be in trouble, call or wave for help.
  9. Follow regulations and lifeguard directions.
  10. Swim parallel to shore if you wish to swim long distances.
