[quote=Anonymous]Wow I was not expecting 4. I would absolutely agree with you op, that is far too high risk for me and I think anyone trained in water safety. No matter how competent a 4 year old is, they are still 4. Their ability to judge risk is still much more limited than an older kid and the likelihood they could make an impulsive decision is still much higher than older kids, no natter what their swimming strength is. And accidents in the water happen incredibly quickly, people become overwhelmed or tired much more suddenly than anyone would expect. If you haven’t witnessed a near drowning it’s hard to imagine it but I saw it with an adult and it was the snap of a finger that they went from seeming fine to suddenly tired and overwhelmed. And with the difficulty seeing and not closely supervising. Anyway, I agree with you. [/quote]
