The cache is NOT at the above coordinates. The cache is close to a pond that I havn't actually seen anyone swimming in, but it looks very tempting!! When I placed the cache, I saw around 60 Canada geese on the pond :-) A short distance from the cache, you can see a better view of the pond. The cache should be wheelchair accessible with care.
You will need to take a look at the requirements for the BSA swimming merit badge to identify the coordinates.
Swimming is one of the 12 specific merit badges required of boyscouts to earn their Eagle Rank (the highest rank in boy scouts).
They also need to earn 9 further elective merit badges, put in many service hours and complete a major project, along with having completed a number of other requirements in lower ranks.
Below are some of the requirements for the BSA swimming merit badge....(as at 2009 - new requirements may be different)
