What does a yellow wristband indicate?

• A. That the child is a non-swimmer
• B. That the child passed the 25:10 swim test
• C. That the child must wear a life jacket
• D. That the child is allowed in hot tubs

Answer: (B)

Color-coded wristbands are used to communicate a swimmer’s ability level quickly. A yellow wristband indicates the child has passed the specified swim test, in this case the 25:10 swim test, showing they have demonstrated enough swimming ability to be in designated water areas with the standard supervision. This is the best choice because it directly reflects the policy tied to that color: passing the test grants certain access or freedom in the water. Other possibilities—being a non-swimmer, needing a life jacket, or being allowed in hot tubs—are determined by different rules or band meanings and aren’t signified by this color.
