swimming pool features. Youth who do not pass, or opt out of taking the swim test, will be

accompany the students into the locker-rooms at all times in either men’s or women’s locker

while maintaining an accurate headcount. Students must be accompanied at all times by
teachers and chaperones to ensure that students don’t separate from the group.
