[quote=Anonymous]We've since moved but had a next door neighbor with an inground pool.  DC was invited over to swim.  DC was an excellent swimmer but I had a conversation with the other mom about safety and offered to come with DC so that I could keep an eye on the kids while they used the pool.  The other mom assured me that she would never leave the kids alone in the pool.  DC told me that the other mom did spend a significant amount of time inside while the kids were in the pool.  DC isn't prone to lying but I decided to pop over and see for myself.  The other mom was inside for over 20 minutes while the kids were in the pool.  I don't believe the other mom was watching because she was surprised to see me when she came outside.  All that to say that if you do invite other kids over to swim I would either let the parents know that there will not be direct supervision or insist that the kids leave the pool if you're going inside.  I'm prepared for people thinking I'm going overboard but drownings (even with experienced swimmers) do happen and are not worth the risk IMO.[/quote]
