Ask a few instuctors about the chances of a 10 year old passing the class. The answers I get is the less than half will pass and all said they'd only take someone that age as a private student one on one.

The ones that do pass OW tend to be the exception. the ones who are straight "A" students who are also great swimmers maybe just getting into competive teams at the YMCA.
