[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP, I have no “issue” and as I said, would not say anything. I learned to swim in another country in the ocean growing up and I am amazed I survived ha. No, kids cannot stand up - the pool’s shallow end is too deep. Maybe a tall five year old can. Not a 3yo in a floatie. I know the kids’ ages bc they talk to me since I am right there. [/quote]

I was the poster who asked about height -- yeah, I would not be at all comfortable with a kid (or adult actually) who couldn't swim and couldn't touch the bottom in the pool without someone helping them.  But I also don't hold with floaties for my kids (no judgment for people who use them, I just didn't grow up with them so I'm inherently suspicious lol) so maybe that makes a difference.  I let my 2yo do a lot of things at the playground that sometimes has other parents grabbing for her because I know she can do them safely but I wouldn't at the pool because drowning is such a high risk.  But then again, I'm not a particularly strong swimmer so maybe I'm overly cautious.[/quote]
