[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Odd that at my summer club the 15 year-old lifeguards have no problem ensuring the safety of the safety of the 8-12 year old kids working on their starts in their own lanes. [/quote]

Are other people allowed to join the lanes at random?  Or are the kids lining up and taking turns?  Are there also coaches managing the process?

You're talking about two totally different things. [/quote]

I’m talking about the exact same thing.  One child in one lane practicing starts alone in the deep end.  No other people joining, no coaches.  [/quote]

OK, because you implied that there are multiple kids (you said kids) and that it was at a swim club, which I took to mean practice.

If the size of your summer pool is such that one life guard is watching a few lanes, and the number of swimmers is such that the culture means that there are never two people in a lane, then I can see how that could work.  That's totally different from a public pool.[/quote]
