Don't know about 185 floatplanes but at our FTO, C152 Instructor limits are 12kt, Student 10kt, This is a school imposed limit I believe so not much more use than a base line guess. 25kt seems a bit excessive based on that, though maybe high hrs floatplane pilots are better.
As for the training flight, there was only one on board I believe, solo practice??
