What training is required for the supervisor under the Safe Swim Defense plan?

The requirement for the supervisor under the Safe Swim Defense plan is to have training in BSA Safe Swim Defense. This training equips the supervisor with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure a safe swimming environment for participants. It covers essential aspects such as understanding the principles of safe swim practices, recognizing potential hazards, and implementing appropriate safety measures during swimming activities. This specialized training directly aligns with the objectives of the Safe Swim Defense plan, which focuses on promoting safety in aquatic settings and minimizing risks associated with swimming.

Understanding BSA Safe Swim Defense is crucial for supervisors, as they play a key role in overseeing swimming events and are responsible for the safety of all participants. Other training options, while valuable in their own right, do not specifically address the unique guidelines and protocols established within the Safe Swim Defense plan.
