15 minutes treading water? Oh that’s too easy, lets do it for an hour. Like, who are these people?

Yeah Bronze Cross was harder again. I did all the way to NL, National Lifeguard. They used to push you to exhaustion levels. Necessary, but unpleasant. That level of fitness is a distant memory, unfortunately. That being said, technique allows you to tread water for hours, not pure stamina.
Teach your kids to swim to the highest level they can. The number of lives lost to water related accidents is still tragically high, especially amongst children.
