Swim Test Form

Anyone participating in BLS Crew must pass a swim test prior to starting water-based practice. Swim tests are provided for a nominal fee (or free for members) at YMCAs and perhaps at BCYF or other pools. Please bring this BLS Swim Test form to make sure that you get the right test. Once you have submitted a swim test to the BLS Crew Registrar you do not need to renew it in future seasons.
