What type of wristband do children aged 5 and under receive when they enter the pool?

Children aged 5 and under receive a pink wristband when they enter the pool. This system is designed to quickly identify the age group of the children for safety reasons. The bright pink color serves as a clear visual cue for lifeguards and staff members, allowing them to promptly recognize which children may require additional supervision or support during their time in the water.

The specific choice of color is effective in maintaining a safe environment by ensuring that young children, who may not yet have strong swimming skills, are easily identifiable. This helps staff ensure that proper protocols are followed to protect younger swimmers, as they may have different rules and requirements compared to older children and adults. By using distinct colors for different age groups, pool staff can enhance their ability to monitor and assist swimmers appropriately.
