Discriminating because I’m a single parent?

Trying to work out if I’m being unreasonable here. I’m on holiday (U.K.) with two youngish kids (both under 8). The resort won’t let me take the children swimming because I don’t have another adult to supervise the second child. I’ve explained I’m a single parent on holiday and have no option of finding someone to help. They suggested I ‘tag along’ with another family who have less children/more adults? Every time I want to swim! I’ve checked their website and they don’t mention this anywhere online. I can’t work out if I’m being unreasonable in saying I want to swim with my kids (like I do all the time at home!) or if they’re being realistic about safety?

I’ve never seen 1:1 ratios being required nd I’ve been to literally hundreds of pools. I’ve seen 1:2 ratios which obviously is hard for single parents with three children. But I think they are being very unreasonable to have 1:1 ratios.
