swim tests
Aquatic skill evaluations
A swim test is a skills assessment required before using a pool, waterfront, or aquatic facility—typically at summer camps, recreation centers, or swimming areas.
Participants demonstrate basic competency: treading water, swimming a certain distance, or floating for a set time.
Passing determines access to deeper water or specific activities: She failed the swim test and had to stay in the shallow end.
