Swimming merit bage

In January I did things for the swimming merit badge.  I learned how to save someone if they are drowning. One way is laying your body sideways then reaching out your hand to try to crab them. Then if you absolutely have to you should make a loop on one end of a rope and ask someone to hold the non-loop end. Put the loop around your body and say to the person holding the rope to unravel it slowly as you get closer to the victim. When you get to the victim swim around him so he doesn't drown you. Put the loop around him and the person holding the end starts pulling to save him/her. My troop did this at the American Fork Rec. center. It was a lot of fun.
