[quote=Anonymous]I am a former lifeguard and cannot relax at the pool! Pools are easier tho; I worked at a lake and there was always the idea in the back of my mind that a kid could have just slipped under. My 10 is an A meet swimmer who swims year round. He has the run of the pool, but needs to tell me if he's switching areas. 7 yo is on preteam and can swim decently, dive and handle herself well in deep water. I watch her like a hawk and if it isn't crowded, I will let her swim into a different section of the pool without me. 5 yo really started swimming this year. Unless he is in the 2.5/3 foot section, I either sit on the wall to supervise or am in the water with him. If I need to run to the restroom, my younger two are allowed to sit on the stairs in the shallow end (if I can't find a friend to keep an eye on them there). 10 yo can keep swimming, but I tell him that I'm leaving the pool area. I might be able to relax when they can all knock off a 200 IM![/quote]
