During the swim test, what should Scouts who declare themselves to be Non-Swimmers do?

In a swim test setting, it is essential for Non-Swimmers to be properly oriented and supported to ensure their safety and comfort. By getting acquainted with the instructor assigned to Non-Swimmers, they can receive specific guidance tailored to their needs. This interaction allows the instructor to assess the Non-Swimmers' abilities, provide reassurance, and explain any safety measures in place. It creates an environment where the Non-Swimmers feel secure and can learn more about swimming techniques or water safety practices.

The other options may not facilitate a focused or safe approach to helping Non-Swimmers. Simply encouraging them to suit up and join in the testing without preparation could lead to feelings of anxiety or risk of danger. Playing and splashing in the water might provide moments of fun but does not address their skill level or safety. Watching from the side may keep them out of the water, but it doesn't allow for interaction or learning opportunities with supportive guidance.
