[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry if I missed it, but they don't have a fence?  Every FL home I've visited ( a lot) have fences, so much that I thought it was a law.[/quote]

The law requiring 2 blockades between the house and the pool is new and applies to new builds and resales. So, my FIL's 30 year old one owner house and pool does not have a fence (we live in FL).

OP...don't do it. Don't leave them there. Drownings happen all.the.time. here. I have a 5yo, and my IL's just can't be trusted to lock the back screen door, nor the sliding glass door to the lanai. They also don't lock the outside door to the pool cage. She just does not go there without me or dh. She doesn't swim (yet) but my IL's kid (dh's half bro 20-something) 'swam like a fish at 4' so they think all kids can. You'd be shocked at how many people I've met that are so casual about their pools! DD does NOT spend time at the IL's without me or dh, that's how it is and I don't apologize for it.

I love living in FL but I am absolutely paranoid about all the pools here! I didn't put in a pool in my new home, no way! I would never have a moment's peace.[/quote]
