Camp One: Swim Test

One of the great camp traditions is that every year once all the kids arrive, our very first task at hand is to do the swim test. All the kids sit on one side of the pool and hear the rules from the lifeguards:

(Camp Lifeguards Mary Blythe, Jillian, and Jani)


Other counselors make themselves useful as well:

The kids jump in 4 at a time, tread water for 30 seconds, and then swim the length of the pool. Once everyone is done, we break in the pool for the first free swim of the week!
