What is required of children who cannot pass the facility swim test?

Children who cannot pass the facility swim test must remain in the shallow end of the pool to ensure their safety. This is a critical guideline aimed at preventing accidents and promoting a secure swimming environment for all children. Staying in the shallow end allows for closer supervision and reduces the risk of drowning or accidents, as this area is typically designed for less experienced swimmers.

Furthermore, the shallow end often contains safety features such as easier access to the pool's edge and less depth to navigate, contributing to a lower chance of incidents. While other options may seem appealing, they do not prioritize the safety and well-being of children who require assistance or supervision while swimming.
