I agree.
I believe kids under 10 aren't in the water unless they are in the water WITH an adult. As in, the adult is swimming/standing next to them, life jacket or not.
A poorly fitting lifejacket can be more hazardous than no lifejacket.
That's not an argument against no lifejackets, it's an argument for proper fitting safety gear.
