Swim Watcher

Did you know that one adult swim watcher is needed for every ten swimmers? If you and your girls are planning a swimming activity, you will need to make sure you have swim watchers present. The swim watcher assists the group by watching for possible emergencies and does not enter the water unless instructed by the lifeguard. Swim watchers do not replace the need for lifeguards, but they assist the lifeguard. The lifeguard and swim watchers are stationed at separate posts and watch the water.

Swim watcher online training is required for anyone who will be a swim watcher. You can access this training on the Learning Opportunities page of our website. In addition, swim watchers must be registered and background checked as they are part of the troop committee working with girls. Take the survey and you will receive credit for this training.
