[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are building a pool at our new house.  We will not be putting a fence up.  Youngest is 12 and a strong swimmer.  Oldest is a competitive swimmer and lifeguard. Yard is walled/fenced from neighbors but we're not putting a fence around the actual pool.  [/quote]

You are the reason there need to be laws in place in every state for this.

Imagine you're having a big party. Parents come with kids of various ages, everyone is chatting, no one has their eyes peeled on their kid every second, and lines of sight are blocked by the number of people. It takes a couple of minutes for a toddler to fall in and drown.

Not PP, but their yard is walled/fenced.  They shouldn't have to live their life around a hypothetical toddler party scenario.  Pools CAN be dangerous but a law requiring double fencing is rather extreme.[/quote]

PP.  Our pool is in compliance with local laws-fully walled/fenced off and locked from to the outside.  Not in the DC area.  This set up is VERY common where we are.  The only people with double fences have very young kids.

Sorry, not sorry, but I'm not putting up another fence in the off chance a toddler comes over.  Odds of that are slim to none as my kids are older.  [/quote]
