For requirement #4, don’t wear denim long pants because wet denim pants become extremely difficult for a person to stay afloat. A person in denim jeans will sink like an anchor. Wear Boy Scout uniform long pants or a light weight material of long pants. This requirement is quite difficult, but it is a life saving skill for people who enter the water with all of their clothes on and need to swim at least fifty yards to shore. This is a great merit badge.
humanoidic, u don’t have to swim with fish
This is alot easier to complete than hiking of cycling. (for me anyway) I finished this at my local pool with my councilor in about 2 hours.
