[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents let us swim in pairs of good swimmers from 10 onwards. Honestly, that seems reasonable to me if you're talking about a home pool that the kids are familiar with. I would actually be very curious how many 10+ year olds w/ basic swimming ability die in swimming pools every year in the US. I bet it's very very few.[/quote] 10 a day in the US[/quote] site?[/quote] What? Totally false. 148 in the whole US under 15 in swimming pools or spas. I would guess the vast majority of those are under 5 and the vast majority of the others couldn’t swim. The truth is that for competent rational sober swimmers, swimming pools are not particularly dangerous. Way less Dangerous than, e.g., driving in a car.
