The 25:10 rule states that if a child is unable to swim 25 meters continuously (no stopping) and unassisted, then a parent needs to remain in the water with them within 10 feet of the child. To determine if a child needs a parent in the water with them, we have them participate in a swim test to determine if they are able to swim the 25 meters. If they are able to, they will be given a yellow wristband for each Family Swim session.
