Nothing here that hasn't been a common knowledge in a long time. As a skipper I have also went through a lot of training for emergencies and children are practically treated as their own category on every step. In particular increased metabolic requirements, decreased ability to survive without oxygen, inability to survive in cold water for any length of time, and so on. Consequently, when I train my crews before I go for a cruise with them we have separate scenarios for emergencies with kids (assuming there are children on board).
