Very good post that has prompted me to upgrade my pool fencing. I’d been meaning to do it for too long - so thanks for the prompt

I had a friend who asked a relative to watch her child while she went to the restroom. The child almost drowned during that time. The woman’s attention was distracted because she wasn’t used to watching children. It’s important to watch your own children. Do not ever rely on someone else who is not used to watching your child.

Every summer this is the sad situation. I too hope that people heed your advise. Experience however tells me that some will not. Sad, but true.

Children must be attended by their parents or guardians at all times..

we must learn from these lessons..

It only takes a second- I remember when my kids were about 2 and 3- 2 adults in the water with me holding my oldest son, and my younger son jumped in the pool unexpectedly, so my reaction was to catch my younger son, so I let go of my oldest- who could not swim, and my friend grabbed him.
It was very scary. You absolutely need to watch the kids all the time. Even with my kids now 15 and 17, they are not allowed to swim unless I am home and can keep an eye on them. Great post and reminder.
