   Swim Test

   Sailors must demonstrate adequate swimming ability by passing the Harvard Recreational Boating Swim Test prior to the first day of class. The test involves swimming 100 yards consecutively with no assistance. There is no cost to take the swim test.

   No alternate proof of swimming capabilities will be accepted.

   To take the swim test sailors must go to either Blodgett or Malkin Pools during recreational swim hours. Please look over the Harvard Recreation Special Hours and Closings calendar for possible pool closings.

   • At the front desk of the pool facility, inform the staff of your intent to take the boating swim test for the Crimson Sailing Academy.
   • At the pool, ask the lifeguard on duty to take the swim test.
   • When you pass the test, you will be issued a card. A copy of this card must be mailed to Crimson Sailing Academy or brought with you to the first day of camp.

   Every sailor must pass the swim test to take part in the camp. If a sailor does not pass the test, they can take it again after improving their skills. There is no cost to take the swim test. If you have concerns about your child's ability to pass the swim test, please have them take it as early as possible. If the child is unable to pass the swim test please notify us prior to June 15th and we will issue you a full refund. After June 15th, the registration fee is non-refundable.

   If you have reservations about your child's ability to pass the test, you can have your child try the swim test before you register.
