[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts always baffle me because everyone here seems so cautious around water, but then in real life I rarely see kids over 5 in life jackets, including at the beach or a lake. At our local pool most parents are allowing their kids to wander unsupervised starting around age 6 assuming they’re generally competent swimmers. And at the lake my entire extended family lets the kids swim off the dock without life jackets starting around the same age. Is this another case of DCUM is not real life? Or am I surrounded by people in the minority about water safety?[/quote] I'm a PP whose 9 year old has never worn a life jacket outside of a boat ride, and I agree with you. Was just at the beach and didn't see anyone with life jackets. But I know my sister's kids wear them at the beach. I've never known anyone else in real life.[/quote]
