I know another kid failed at the same time my daughter did and on our way out, could hear the mother, um, urging the instructor to pass them. Kids can fail and learn from it, but they have to be allowed to fail in the first place.

Yep, out in Airdrie they're pretty militant. We're trying to get my oldest to learn and let's say, he's not a natural. He failed the second level twice, then we put him in to a private lesson to complete it which he did pass. Now he doesn't want to do the third level. It's a process.
And yeah, I was fine with them failing him. He's there to learn how to swim, not get an award or something. If your kid hasn't learned yet, why would you be mad about that? People are nuts.
