[quote=Anonymous]If you and your DH are supervising and the park has lifeguards and the kids all know how to swim and are generally well behaved/easy to manage kids, I think it’s fine to have it be a drop off party and not offer to pay for parents to attend. I’m a very cautious parent but I’d allow my 10 year old who is a good swimmer to attend without me. If he wasn’t a good swimmer, I wouldn’t. If I didn’t trust the parents to actually supervise the kids, I wouldn’t. If there were no lifeguards, I wouldn’t. Just don’t invite more kids than you can manage. I think 10 kids (ratio of 5 kids to 1 adult) including your DD is the absolute max but would be more comfortable w 7-8 kids total. It’s hard to watch them at a water park! You’ll have some wanting to do large water slides and some doing the wave pool and one who stays in the lazy river the whole time lol. So keep it small and verify w parents beforehand that their kids can swim and know basic water safety. [/quote]
