[quote=Anonymous]I equate it to people who grew up with a lake house - kids can go right out the door and into the lake in a blink of an eye. I agree that it’s a partially a culture thing and also a “that wouldn’t happen to us” type of thing. I have seen adults have to jump fully clothed into a pool to rescue their kids, and they kind of laughed it off, like “oh that crazy kid”. My kids swim year round as their main sport and I’m still keeping an eye on them in the pool, and my eyes are definitely on them at all times at the beach. From what I’ve read, aside from kids being unsupervised at the pool, the tricky situation is when there are lots of adults and kids around and each kid doesn’t have a designated person to watch them. Everyone assumes that nothing bad could happen because there are so many adults around. Car safety and water safety, folks! Those are the biggest ones that we can actually do something about for our kids. [/quote]
