appropriately and enabled to access emergency services promptly.
Parent or legal guardian is required to fill out an Authorization to Administer Medication form for each participant re-

medication, directions for use and cautionary statements, if any, contained in such a prescription or required by law.
The EpiPen should be stored in a cooled lunch bag / container and given to the program director upon arrival at the
program. The EpiPen will be kept in a designated area on site.
• The Parks and Recreation Department will not administer epinephrine unless and until a fully completed Autho-

\*All children participating in this program are required to have a swim test prior to the start of the pro-
gram (even if they were tested last year). A lifeguard and staff will be available at the Open Swim listed
below for Christian’s Law testing. Please see the Christian’s Law section below for more information.
Christian’s Law
Christian’s Law requires that we make a determination of each participating minor’s swimming ability at the first
swimming session conducted at a Massachusetts fresh or saltwater beach, in order to identify and classify non-
swimmers and swimmers. Non-swimmers are defined as a program participant who at testing does not meet
criteria for a Red Cross Level 3. (Child must be able to jump into chest deep water from the side, swim front crawl
for 15 yards with face in the water and rhythmic breathing pattern (to front or side), maintain position by treading
or floating for 30 seconds and swim back crawl for 15 yards.) As such, all children participating in the Wilderness
and Middle School Park programs will be required to have a swim test prior to their first swim outing, even if they
were tested last year. This year we will be providing the swim test as part of their program.
Those children that are classified as non-swimmers will
be required to wear a US Coast Guard Certified personal
flotation device (PFD) while swimming. This PFD can ei-
ther be provided by the Parks & Recreation Department
or they may be brought by the child. Our staff will con-
duct a fit test on all non-swimmers to ensure that PFD’s
are properly fitting. Children that have not completed the
swim test will be classified as a non-swimmer. Children
will only need to be swim tested once this summer.
