What must caregivers maintain when an individual child cannot pass the swim test?

When an individual child cannot pass the swim test, caregivers must maintain full responsibility for the entire group. This is crucial because even if one child is unable to demonstrate adequate swimming ability, the caregiver's presence and vigilance become even more important to ensure the safety of all children present. A child who hasn’t passed the swim test may require more attention and oversight, which means caregivers need to be fully engaged and accountable for every child in their care, rather than just focusing on specific activities or reducing their supervision level. This ensures that all safety protocols are followed and that children who may be at risk receive the appropriate levels of supervision and support.
