My kids wear and their friends wear lifejackets any time they're in water over chest deep. The only exception I've ever made to this rule was when we were in Bimini, you couldn't sink if you wanted to there. I am a certified water rescue and recovery technician and public safety diver; I've pulled far too many bodies off the bottom that were there mainly because they were too "cool" (or ignorant of the dangers) to wear a lifejacket. Drowning can happen in the blink of an eye and once your loved one slips into the depths, good luck finding them in time to save them.
