[quote=Anonymous]At that age, it is weird for parents to stay. Also how many will end up bringing tag along younger siblings (that would be the real safety hazard)? I do not trust parents to properly supervise their kids anyway - my pool, 100% my responsibility regardless of parents present. IME parents socialize and zone out anyway, in most cases. If it is all the girls from class, I’d assume 10-12 girls depending on attendance? Ten 10yo girls is not very challenging to supervise IME and I have BTDT. One adult (must be yourself or spouse) watching the pool at all times, and close the pool (everyone out and close gate, verbally say pool is closed for now) once swimming time is finished. A lifeguard is great but probably not necessary IMO. I’ve never hired one for this type of party (a party with older kids where I will not be socializing). Usually I cover the pool, and DH handles food prep and non pool supervision. [/quote]
