[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean like let your kid go to a public or community pool with lifeguards and other adults you know around, but you aren't there? If so, our pool has a rule of 10 which seems reasonable to me. Or do you mean like let them swim in a backyard pool by themselves without an adult? For me, when they've gone through lifeguard training and have a buddy (so 15) or when they turn 18.[/quote] For my kids I waited till 11-12 on the first, agree with the second. Every kid is different. [/quote] PP here, I think some of it is kid. My kids swam well and early. They also are pretty compliant kids, so I know they'll listen to the lifeguard. But some is also the pool. Because our pool is small, and my kids had done swim team for years when they turned 10 they knew a lot of adults at the pool. Something like a hotel pool, even with a lifeguard, or a public pool, I might not have felt comfortable wiht.[/quote]
