New Jersey A3714 requires swimming pools to offer deep water swimming tests to children 12 years of age and younger upon request.

New Jersey A3714 mandates that swimming pools provide deep water swimming tests to children aged 12 and under upon request. These tests, conducted by lifeguards, assess a swimmer's ability to enter water deeper than their chest. To pass, the child must swim 50 meters or two laps and tread water for 30 seconds. Until they pass, children must be accompanied by an adult while swimming. Swim team members are exempt. The bill also requires health authorities to include confirmation of these tests in pool inspections and the Checklist for Public Recreational Bathing Facilities.
