Swimming Merit Badge

Posted by Mark Abell on November 8, 2011

We are offering a group swimming merit badge beginning in December.  Please email Mrs. Denton at dentonpl@aol.com to confirm your interest in participating. Some of you have already started this merit badge. Please email Mrs. Denton  to let her know if you are interested in completing the requirements you still need, in a group class.  Please let her know ASAP if you are interested.  Class size is limited.  (Adults, Mrs. Denton needs your help.  The more adults that help, the larger the class she can offer.  She needs some in the water and some poolside and in classrooms.)

*Please note that this is not a swimming class.*  Do not sign up for this merit badge until you can swim.  You must be proficient in the front crawl, back crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke and elementary backstroke.  You will also have to do dives from the deck and tread water while removing your street clothes.  Please review the requirements at www.meritbadge.com.

 

We will have the dry portions of the badge on 11/29 and  12/6 beginning at 6:00 pm at PUMC. You probably will not need to come to both sessions, so email her which class you would like to attend.  But it would be wise to start on 11/29 if you can, in case you need  to attend both sessions to complete your requirements.  We will have the wet portions at PRC on 12/4 and 12/11 with a makeup/retest on 1/8/12; times to be announced soon, but plan on afternoons.
