[quote=Anonymous]Normally I'd say stick to the baby pool with both if you're unsure, but if this is at a private home, that is likely not an option. So you institute iron-clad rules for the 3 yo. Any violation and you immediately go home for the day. 1. Only an adult can take the puddle jumper/floaties off. 2. He must wait for an adult to be in the water AND say "OK" before he can even put a toe in himself. 3. He stays in the shallow end/where he can touch/between you and the wall unless given explicit permission to do otherwise. Keep in mind that private pools generally don't have a roped-off shallow area, and that they get deep fast. That slope between the shallow end and the deeper water can be very dangerous -- kids are bobbing and manage to move out farther than they can comfortably touch. On the upside, there ain't no nap like a post-swim nap.[/quote]
