Where do I view the requirements for the swim test? I can’t find it on the BSA website.

Thank you. Where did you find this? Do I have access to find it?
I googled BSA Swim Test
Swim Classification Procedures
- “Swim Classification Procedures” in BSA Outdoor Programs. Swim Classification Record. #19-122, Revised: March 2022 ed. Boy Scouts of America Inc., 2022. PDF. p. 2, https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/outdoor%20program/aquatics/pdf/430-122.pdf
It looks like "swim classification record, #19-122, revised March 2022, replaced the “unit swim classification record”, #430-122, of March 2009.

You can also find it in Swimming merit badge requirement #2.
BSA merit badge requirements:

And also in the Scouts BSA Handbook in the Aquatics section:
Beginner test is on page 169
Swimmer test is on page 168
Thanks. We only have cub scouts. I’m assuming the swimming test is the same for them?
Yes, it is the same test.
