The purpose of this survey is to help determine what is considered appropriate attire for swimming for our council.
The BSA National Aquatics Committee Swimwear Statement: We recommend that swimwear should be comfortable, functional, and appropriate for the specific aquatic activity.
The National Council has left it to the local councils to determine the swimwear guidelines for their aquatics programs.
When the local aquatics committee surveyed swimwear policies around the Nation we found that many policies use subjective terms like “appropriate” or “modest”. The goal of this survey is the get the opinion of our local volunteers and parents and provide specific guidance on the type of swimwear our parents consider “appropriate” for Scouting activities. This will ensure that participants, both Scouts and adults, have clear expectations of the appropriate swimwear for Scouting events.
