In such case, the minor shall not be allowed to participate in any swimming/bathing activity pending verbal permission from the parent/legal guardian for the minor to be properly fit tested for a PFD provided by the municipal or recreational program or camp. Any verbal permission shall be subsequently documented in writing within 24 hours, and, at a minimum, provide the date, time and name of the parent/guardian who provided permission.Adopted by Mass Register Issue 1338, eff. 5/5/2017.
