At the end of the training you will be asked to input your name, unit number, and BSA council. After a few minutes the screen will show a completed "training card" for you to print. You should keep a copy for your records and send one copy to your unit or district training chair.
Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat Training must be updated every two years.
