[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] Of course this isn’t real life. No one in their right mind has kids in life jackets at the beach. Normal people don’t reply to these threads, just over-anxious parents that can use this as an opportunity for virtue-signaling.[/quote]
