[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're thinking of buying an above ground pool for the backyard. [/quote]

Are you going to hire a full time life guard?  We have an inground pool and when my husband or I are not at home, it is covered and locked.  When we have a party, we hire two Red Cross lifeguards.[/quote]
Haha, no. I won't be having parties and I'm capable of watching the kids even they're swimming. [/quote]

Hiring lifeguards is smart. Drownings DO happen during parties because parents figure there are lots of parents around and someone is watching... but no one notices the little kid who falls in.

This is more of a concern if you have a home in-ground pool. Most people who have never had one in their backyard don't think about these things. The owners could get sued by angry parents whose kid drowned at a party... [/quote]

There will be no lifeguards to hire, even for HOA/club pools. No certification classes are being offered.[/quote]

My daughter is a lifeguard and her certification expires in May.  They were just granted a 120 day extension.  Current lifeguards should be ok.  Having new ones certified will be an issue.  [/quote]

Okay, so not NO lifeguards, but a big shortage. And for reasons that I don't understand, most of our HOA lifeguards come from Eastern Europe. Guessing that won't be happening this year. Our pools are managed by High Sierra. [/quote]
