Requires swimming pools to offer deep water swimming tests to children 12 years of age and younger upon request.

Summary

The bill adds a requirement that any public or private pool in New Jersey must provide a deep‑water swimming test for patrons age 12 or younger when asked by the child or a guardian. Until a child passes the test, an adult must stay within arm’s length while the child swims, except for members of the pool’s swim team. The test is administered by a lifeguard and must include swimming 50 meters and treading water for 30 seconds.
