* It is the Company’s preference that all children aged 13 to 17 years wear life jackets. But, if it is considered by the Parent/Guardian that the child can swim 25 metres or more, the parent/guardian can on behalf of the child, opt out of the life jacket, however by opting out they accept an increased risk in the safety of the child.
