Application Forms
Adults/Masters, Collegiates, High Schoolers, and Middle Schoolers may apply by filling out the following three forms.
- Personal info sheet
- Vancouver Lake Crew Waiver
- Swim Test Form (see instructions below)
Swim Waiver Instructions
All members of Vancouver Lake Crew are required to provide proof of swimming proficiency. This requires filling out our swim test form and having it signed off by a certified American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor -- not just a lifeguard.
Note that 'good swimming technique' is not required for our purposes; we are merely concerned with your safety in the water. You will be asked to show that you can (1) swim 100 yards; and (2) tread water for 10 minutes and then put on a life jacket.
Below are a few locations where you can take the swimming test - Please call to schedule your visit.
For addresses and contact information, see the Swim Test Form.
