The 25:10 rule in swimming is a safety guideline: if a child cannot swim 25 meters (the length of a typical pool) continuously and unassisted, an adult must stay within 10 feet, preferably in the water with them, to provide immediate supervision and aid. It's a benchmark for assessing water competency, often used by pools to determine access to deeper areas, and emphasizes that achieving this milestone doesn't negate the need for close adult supervision.
The pool is permitted to be used by senior members of the royal household who must check in advance if royal family members are planning to swim. If staff members are swimming and a member of the royal family appears, they must get out of the pool, although they are very often invited to remain swimming.

While the water may appear to blend with the sea or sky seamlessly, there's a catch basin (or a trough) located at the edge. This allows the water to fall before it's returned to the pool. Infinity pools are designed with safety in mind, meaning they ensure users cannot swim off the edge by accident.
