Boy Scout Swimming Merit Badge Survival Skills

Boy Scout Swimming Merit Badge Requirement #4

In this video, you will see a counselor demonstrate the swimming survival skills by jumping feet first into deep water wearing clothes. He will inflate the shirt, and show that you can float using the shirt for support. Then he will remove and inflate the pants for support, showing various methods to get air into the pants to be used as a PFD.

Video taking at Camp Tomahawk Scout Reservation in Wisconsin July 2011, White Pine sub camp. Both Camp and staff are awesome. Recommended!
