Have to go camping, need an excuse not to swim?

Sometime in July I'm going camping with my volunteer group. This is bad enough because I'm not really into camping but it's one of those things I kind of need to go to in relation to the work we do (working with kids, the trip will be primarily on leadership training).

The thing is most camping trips usually involve swimming at some point or another. I don't swim, I do not like water and I don't even own a bathing suit. Is there any reasonable excuse I can tell the group leader as to why I won't be swimming? I can't really think of anything but to tell her quite bluntly that I don't like swimming, but she's a very understanding lady.
 
Why not just tell her what you just told us? You dont know how to swim, you dont like the water, and you dont even own a bathing suit. You said so yourself that shes very understanding. Why make up an excuse when you already have a reason.
 
you should just tell her that you don't have a bathing suit and that you don't like swimming. That's what I think you should do.
