I don't know that there is a 'recognised' safe age - it's a personal thing. The thing to consider is not whether your child is safe sitting in the tub alone, but what might occur to make them no longer safe - ie might they stand up, slip and bump their head, might they turn the hot tap on, etc.
I have a personal drowning thing - not a fear as such but a real waryness - like I would never have a pool.
